2-piper:

Bell in "Manufacuter of Iron & Steel" 1884 - gives Swedish pig iron as having:

Pig -------------------- malleable iron
4% Carbon -------------------- 0.2% Carbon
1/2% Silicon -------------------- 0.1% Silicon
0.3% Sulphur -------------------- 0.025% Sulphur
.15% Phosphorus-------------------- 0.1% Phosphorus
1.8% Manganese -------------------- 0.05% Manganese
----------------------------- 0% Arsenic

Which gives something near 7% inpurities or foreign matter for pig iron and 0.475% max for Swedish malleable iron. With your mention of "Chromium, molynedum, vanadium" being in the unobtainiums category, did you work on one of the Apollo projects or with Wernher Von Braun, Edward Teller or Robert Oppenheimer?

Kind Regards,
