Modern Inheritance: Putting Iron in Irony (Eldest Short)

(A/N: I was writing a few ideas out for the next part of the Escape series and remembered something, realized yeah Brom would probably know that about Arya, and promptly had to stop writing that so I could write this. Another small additional note at the bottom.

Oh, also. This is my first time writing Rhunön. She'll probably change a bit when I get around to writing more of her, but despite everyone blaming Brom for teaching Arya to swear and being all un-elf-like, they really forgot about the 'I kinda hate what our culture has become' grouch living in Ellesmera 24/7 as opposed to Brom's popping in and out, huh? I bashed this out in an hour and didn't check it over be gentle plz)

~~~~~~

“Hey.” Rhunön’s shoulders rose and fell in only a way Arya could pick up after so long, a little sigh the smith always did when the woman appeared at her forge. It was force of habit now, not actual exasperation, and it always brought that wild child grin to the younger elf’s face. “Up for some commission work?”

Rhunön banked the coals she was coaxing into white heat and turned, that ever present lift of her lip in false annoyance on her face. “I’m not making you another sword. No weapons. ”

Arya waved her off. “I’m more in the market for a tool. Something useful for daily tasks. And…” She reached into the bag slung at her hip, fishing out the wrapped bundle. “I have the steel for you to use. If they’re of quality, that is. I sort of doubt they are, but it’s good metal and I’d just hate to see it go to waste.”

The smith rolled her eyes. “You couldn’t tell good metal from slag if you were hit in the face with it.” But she still gestured to the workbench that separated the courtyard from the fires, joining the woman there as she set the bundle down with a soft clank. 

Arya unwrapped it with little flourish and braced her elbows on the worn planks, grinning like a cat who had just chomped down on the Queen’s favorite raven. Rhunön stared at the presented materials for a long moment before she looked up at the cheshire smile, entirely deadpan in response. “Really, Arya?”

“Really.” There was a hint of a giggle buried there, sharp teeth glinting in the fire’s light. “Can you do it?” 

Rhunön picked one up and examined the metal closely. Arya was right. For a set of shackles made by Broddrings, it was good metal. She tested them in her hands, flexed the steel and let out an appreciative hum. Somewhat springy, even at this thickness. Specially made, surely, after seeing that scrappy thing’s strength. Or even made to contain that nasty Shade if he were to go rogue. 

“Of course I can do it.” Rhunön sniffed. She set the piece down with its twin, noticing from the corner of her eye how the elfling shifted just slightly away when she brought the offending object closer to her side of the table. “What do you want? A bracelet is out of the question.”

The barred teeth took on a more pained clench before flickering back to amused. “Very funny. Like I said, I was thinking something utilitarian. Daily use, good in all situations. More than one thing if there’s enough, but otherwise…” Arya shrugged, that light never leaving her dark eyes. “Surprise me.”

It was a long moment of quiet but for the occasional pop from the still heated forge. Rhunön stared hard at the two shackles, her mind already awhirl with shapes and movement and fire and steel. 

When she looked up, the ancient elf had her razor sharp teeth barred in a similarly wild smile. “Come back tomorrow night, little hatchling, and I’ll surprise you.” 

~

True to her word, Rhunön did surprise her. Arya wasn’t sure what she had in mind, really. Maybe a new magazine for her rifle, or some container for the gems she and Glen kept for storing energy and spells. 

When the ancient smith presented her with a sheathed knife the next evening, Arya paused. 

“I thought you swore to never make weapons again, Rhunön.” She couldn’t help the troubled confusion in her voice. There was no point in trying to hide it anyway, the old elf was too good at picking up on what she felt. 

The polished brass of the knife’s pommel promptly bonked the younger elf on the head. Arya yelped but didn’t move to defend herself, knowing it was the only blow and barely one at that. “This is not a weapon, you nincompoop.” Rhunön chided, holding it out on upturned palms yet again. “This is a tool. Take it. Before I hit you with it again.”

The grain of the handle was cool against Arya’s fingertips when she seized it. The wood was beautiful, polished and glowing from within to highlight the interwoven scales yet still holding to her grip without slipping. The sheath was leather, not oiled to a gleam but wellworked and firm. She could feel magic in it, a tingling warmth, protection, something to hide, something to keep it safe. 

“Handle’s some Gidgee I had laying around.” Rhunön waved a hand vaguely, gesturing towards the stacks of wood blanks in the back of the shop. “I know how much you just love that damn leather backing on your little jacket, so I scraped some up from some old project.” 

That Rhunön was acting so dismissive of something she had crafted was…unusual. It wasn’t until Arya saw one of the old leather aprons in pieces on a far bench that she realized why, and she buried the upwelling of emotion deep down in her chest. 

“It took a bit of work to get it to hold an edge properly.” Arya didn’t look up, unsheathing the small blade to examine the true marvel of craftsmanship. The blade itself was simple. Flat spined, a hidden tang. Rhunön had left some of the hammer marks along the sides, the only bright and burnished steel being that along the edge of the single, sloped cutting side. More of the blade was flat than curved, a gentle slope a good bit more than halfway down curving up to the point. “It’s an old style of work knife. Pokaio. From back when we weren’t dragon bonded.” 

Arya beamed. She finally looked up at her old friend, unable to wipe the expression away. “Rhunön…it’s beautiful.” 

“Of course it is. I made it.” The smith sniffed. “I’ve enchanted it so that it’s not easily found if someone is searching you while it’s sheathed. Keep it in your boot or something for the next time you go running into a stupid situation. Don’t lose it.” The warning was the capstone to a confession in different words. Stay safe and don’t get yourself captured again. Dumbass. 

Of course, dumbass was a term of endearment for Rhunön, one she only used with her favorite dumbasses. Always said with the utmost buried affection. 

Arya’s smile grew wider. “I’d sooner lose Glen’s arm!”

Rhunön ignored the comment and picked up another item from the table. “There was enough left for one more thing. For your twisted sense of humor and for the irony of it.” 

“Oh?” 

The ancient smith held up a flat piece of metal no longer than her thumb and no thicker than a pocket knife. At Arya’s raised eyebrow the cheshire grin returned to Rhunön’s wire-etched face and she thumbed the side. An array of oddly shaped pins fanned out, an L shaped bracket popping from the top. 

“Lockpick set. To wear with your dogtags.” 

Arya’s sharp teeth mirrored her friend’s, eyes glimmering with dark mirth. “Oh, Rhunön, you are such a treat.”

(Post A/N: Yeah it's a Finnish Puukko knife. I've always wanted one.)

The Factors that Impact the Granulated Blast Furnace Slag Price

The granulated blast furnace slag is a rich byproduct of the iron and steel industry. It comes from manufacturing these metals. However, this byproduct has found a great use in the construction domain.

It can help strengthen the concrete and help the businesses be more sustainable. However, the pricing can be concern, especially if you are still new to this industry. There are various factors that impact the granulated blast furnace slag price. It is key to making crucial decisions about the purchase and quantity. Here is a list of all the factors responsible for the pricing decision.

1. The raw materials required to make the slag is an important factor. Iron ore cost and availability is important in producing the slag. You must identify if it is available in the market. if the iron ore is available, the pricing can impact the overall costof GBFS. In case the iron ore cost is high, the GBFS cost will also go up. This is why you must keep an eye on the iron ore cost.

2. Similarly, you must also consider the energy costs for producing iron and steel. This can also impact the cost of the slag. You must consider the energy required to produce electricity, coal, natural gas and other elements by the granulated blast furnace slag suppliers. This would impact the cost of producing the GBFC. In case higher levels of energy is required for the production, it can also lead to increased GBFS cost.

3. The transportation cost should also be calculated while estimating GBFS cost. You might want to consider transporting the raw materials from production to final stage. This means you should calculate the fuel prices, distance and other aspects.

4. The next factor that influences the cost of GBFS is the production method. You must consider the efficiency of the production process while calculating the cost. If you are using advanced methods to produce the material, you may get higher yields and get to lower the production cost. As the blast furnace grows efficient, it can ensure stable granulated blast furnace slag price for the supply.

5. If you plan to use strict environmental regulations, this can impact the overall production cost. You must ensure that GBFS is in sync with the emission standards and waste management requirements. this would in turn manage the steel manufacturing plant’s operational costs. You will notice that these aspects can control the price of the slag. If you use environmentally friendly methods, you might reduce the costs effectively.

The Importance of Low Carbon Ferro Manganese in the Welding Industry

Low Carbon Ferro Manganese (LCFeMn), is used to enhance welding operations. The alloy acts as a protectant, being a deoxidiser and a desulphuriser. In addition to that, the incorporation of low-carbon ferro manganese alloys ensures the heat input is optimal and balanced throughout, without much variation in welding quality and texture. They are also known for reducing the splattering of molten metal, making sure, the welding gets a smooth surface and finish. 

However, the quality can only be ensured if the alloy in use is of top quality. An assurance that can only be given by the best low carbon ferro manganese suppliers. And this article will just help the readers with the knowledge needed for choosing the same from this market of abundance and competition.

What Is Low Carbon Ferro Manganese?

LCFeMn is an alloy composed of iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and carbon. The carbon content is intentionally kept low (typically below 0.1%) to prevent excessive carbon pickup during steelmaking. LCFeMn is produced by smelting manganese ore, iron ore, and coke in electric arc furnaces. Let’s delve into its significance in the welding flux industry.

1. Deoxidization and Desulfurization

During welding, high temperatures cause oxygen and sulfur to react with molten steel. And form new compounds that can effectively reduce the strength of the metal and the welds. LCFeMn acts as a powerful deoxidizer and desulfurizer. And incorporation of the same is the welding makes sure the quality and strength are intact under various circumstances. As, clean welds are essential for structural integrity, especially in critical applications like aerospace components and automobile manufacturing. 

2. Stabilizing Arc and Reducing Spatter

Welding fluxes contain LCFeMn to stabilize the electric arc during welding. This stability ensures consistent heat input, which directly impacts weld quality.

LCFeMn also reduces spatter (the splattering of molten metal) during welding, leading to smoother and more controlled welds.

3. Improving Mechanical Properties

Tensile Strength: LCFeMn increases the tensile strength of welds, making them more resistant to external forces.

Impact Toughness: LCFeMn improves the weld’s ability to absorb energy without fracturing.

Ductility: LCFeMn contributes to weld ductility, allowing for better deformation without failure.

4. Preventing Hot Cracking

Hot cracking, also known as solidification cracking, is a common issue that arises when the weld metal undergoes rapid, uneven cooling and contracts. This type of cracking typically occurs in the grain boundaries of the weld, where the metal is most vulnerable during solidification. Low Carbon Ferro Manganese (LCFeMn) plays a crucial role in minimizing hot cracking by promoting a more uniform solidification process and reducing internal stresses that lead to weld defects. The addition of LCFeMn helps in modifying the weld metal’s composition, enhancing its mechanical properties and increasing its resistance to cracking under stressful conditions.

5. Compatibility with Various Welding Processes

Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW): Regarding SMAW, LCFeMn is usually applied in electrode manufacturing. It is a deoxidizer that stops unwanted chemical reactions from happening during welding, making the welds cleaner and stronger. The application of LCFeMn in electrodes leads to the creation of a stabilized arc and the welding rods become more user-friendly.

Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW): LCFeMn is also added to the welding wire, which considerably boosts the weld quality in GMAW. The process, thus, enhances the toughness and strength of the weld joint and gives a smoother, more consistent bead appearance. Additionally, LCFeMn also offers lower porosity, which may affect the health of the weld.

Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW): In FCAW, LCFeMn is added to the flux core, therefore the slag is better formed and removed easier. Hence, the addition of the same element makes the weld stronger and has a better chance of resisting cracking and porosity. The LCFeMn in FCAW is the key to the quality and longevity of the welds in challenging applications.

Low Carbon Ferro Manganese is a vital component in the welding flux industry. The same can deoxidize, stabilize arcs, enhance mechanical properties, prevent defects, and work well with various welding processes. Whether in shipbuilding, construction, or aerospace, LCFeMn ensures strong, reliable welds that withstand the test of time.

Ilmenite Market: Sustainable Solutions with Titanium Dioxide Photocatalysts

Decoding Ilmenite Industry: Exploring the economic and Environmental Impact Formation and Properties Ilmenite is a widespread titanium-iron oxide mineral with the chemical formula FeTiO3. It forms as a natural material from magmatic or hydrothermal processes. When lava or magma cools slowly, it will crystallizes and solidifies. Contact metamorphism of suitable rocks under mountain building processes can also result in new formation. It has a hexagonal crystal structure and usually forms black to steel-gray crystals. However, it can also appear in massive forms without distinct crystal shapes. It has a Mohs hardness of 5.5-6.5 and specific gravity in the range of 4.7-5. Its luster is typically submetallic. It is quite common in igneous and metamorphic rocks worldwide. Some of the notable ilmenite deposits are found in Australia, South Africa, Canada, Ukraine and India. Uses and Demand It is one of the most industrially useful ores as it is the chief ore of titanium. Around 60% of the global ilmenite production is utilized to manufacture titanium dioxide pigment. Titanium dioxide pigment has premium qualities like brightness, opacity and durability. It finds extensive applications in paints, plastics, paper, textiles, rubber and other industries. A major portion of the remaining ilmenite is processed to obtain titanium metal and titanium alloys. Titanium and its alloys have outstanding corrosion resistance and high strength to weight ratio. They are extensively used in aerospace, military, medical and other specialized applications. It is also a rich source of iron units that can be recovered as by-products during titanium processing. With rising global consumption of titanium dioxide pigment and increasing demand from high-tech industries, the market for ilmenite is steadily growing. Ilmenite production in most years over the last decade has been pegged at 6-7 million tonnes annually. Australia with its mineral sands deposits is the leading producer followed by South Africa and Canada. Countries like India, Ukraine, and Vietnam are also emerging as important players.

Beneficiation and Processing Raw ilmenite as mined contains other associated mineral impurities like silica, rutile, zircon, monazite apart from iron. Hence, it needs to be upgraded through various beneficiation methods before utilization. Commonly used beneficiation techniques include washing, magnetic separation, electrostatic separation, gravity separation etc. This upstream processing liberates the valuable residue from gangue minerals and improves its iron and titanium content. Washing deslimes and removes most of the silica impurities. Electrostatic separation exploits the difference in electrical conductivity between ilmenite and other minerals. Magnetic separation works on its magnetic properties to concentrate it.

The next stage involves metallurgical processing to recover titanium, iron units and produce value added products. Rotary kiln processes roasted concentrates at 1000-1200 °C to form synthetic rutile or titanium slag as intermediate products. These are then subject to chlorination or sulphate processes to yield pure titanium tetrachloride which upon hydrolysis produces titanium dioxide. Additional processing produces titanium metal, sponge and alloys. Environmental Concerns and Regulations Major environmental issues relate to land disturbance, dust generation, sedimentation of rivers during beneficiation plant operations. Toxic tailings and slag from processing plants require scientific disposal and management. Stringent regulations are in place worldwide to control emissions, effluents, dumping/storage of wastes from titanium industries. Environmental Impact Assessments and Cleaner Production plans are mandatory. Mining leases specify strict compliance on pollution control, site reclamation and biodiversity conservation measures. In many countries, public consultation is part of approval process for new projects. With growing environmental consciousness, the titanium sector emphasises on judicious resource utilisation, recycling, greener technologies and sustainability. Adoption of international standards on safety, health and environment protection will enable responsible mining and value addition of this important mineral resource for the long term. So in summary, ilmenite is a key industrial mineral with major applications in pigment and metal industries. Its deposits are widely distributed but selective countries dominate production. Beneficiation and metallurgical processing upgrades it into various economically valuable titanium compounds and alloys. Like all mining activities, this industry too needs to factor in environmental management for sustainable development.
