Dragons lair Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I just ran across anvil made by Ross Meehan Foundry In Chattanooga Tn.Anyone know anything about these?? Thanks Mark Most of the ones I have seen that said foundry on them were advertizing pieces. Any guess on size or weight? Ken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I'm guessing cast iron due to the edge damage, How do you plan to fix it? from WIKIPEDIA Meehanite is a trademark for an engineering process to make many types of cast iron. When a foundry advertises that produces "Meehanite Iron" this means the foundry is licensed by Meehanite Metal Corporation, initially of Chattanooga, Tennessee but now based in Mequon, Wisconsin. The Meehanite process includes a series of specific processing steps, which, when followed, will produce (according to Meehanite) cast iron with uniform soundness, consistent physical properties and dependable performance in service[1]. Meehanite metal specifications include a wide range of cast irons, including flake graphite types, ductile irons, austempered ductile irons, wear resistant irons, heat resistant irons and corrosion resistant types. Meehanite is not a specific alloy or material. While Meehanite lists all of these metal types in its grouping of specifications, all of these types of cast irons can and are made by non-Meehanite licensed foundries. Many of the types of engineering grades listed by Meehanite were discovered or developed by other companies Frankly it's probably better as a display piece than an anvil.

ThomasPowers Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Nice to know the current status; but the original post said "I just ran across anvil made by Ross Meehan Foundry In Chattanooga Tn" so no need to re-state that part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
