Steve Sells Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Hi. im the guy who bought one of these anvils. The actual spectrometer results are 99.58 iron, 0.41 manganeze . The Leco carbon determinator test came out to be 0.228 carbon. These results were double checked. that adds up to 100.218 % It must be the new math again or their double checker can't add.

FoundryFiend Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 hi, thanks for pointing out the error. i asked the senior lab tech to do it this time and he came up with 99.362 fe, 0.41 mn, .228 c i actually bought a "280" not the 500. i weighed it on two different scales and it came out to be 251. i for one am on fire to know who cast these anvils and why such low carbon steel was used.

nonjic Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Here's a photo of my large anvil, the face is 8 inches wide x 29 inches long. The small anvil on the left is 4 hundredweight. looks like it might be bigger than 500lbs that Bob - its certainly more than 1cwt bigger than the 'small' one. Im sure the 250 kg anvils Ive looked at have only been 6 1/2 - 7" face width (how many units of measurement can I use in 1 post ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
