Slag from iron blast furnaces is highly undervalued by most people because it is generated in large quantities and is often considered a waste. However, the founders and workers at furnaces learned quickly that producing high quality cast iron was "all about the slag." In this presentation, Mike Weber will provide a comprehensive overview of slag, including what is slag, how is it produced, what are its characteristics, and why is it so important.
The Cornwall Iron Furnace Associates hosted this virtual presentation, "All About Slag" on Tuesday, March 14th, 2023, at Freeman Hall at Cornwall Manor.
The presenter, Michael Weber, volunteers as a guide, researcher, and lecturer at Cornwall Iron Furnace. As a 1982 geosciences graduate from Penn State University, Mike worked for 36 years as a geologist, health physicist, and manager for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the U.S. Geological Survey. After retiring from Federal service, he returned to Cornwall Furnace, where he serves as a guide and researches the history of mining and the geology at Cornwall and similar deposits in PA.
