Steel-press
Metallic moulds receive the molten steel through suitable runners, after which mechanical means are employed for exerting a pressure on the fluid metal to force out the gases and give greater density to the steel. See PRESSING FLUID STEEL.
Steering-bar is generally a long iron shank, swaged on one end to fit either a round or square shaft which projects beyond the bale of a geared or other crane ladle, on the opposite side to the man who pours, to steer the ladle during the operation. Ladles are also steered with a long rod having two projecting fingers forged at the end at right angles with the rod. These clip the bale or beam of the ladle, and thus control or steer it. See LADLES.
