Author(s): J G McDonnell

A model is proposed for the formation of smithing slags, in particular the characteristic plano-convex hearth bottom. The composition of smithing slags is given and the source of the major and minor oxides is discussed. The model suggests the mechanisms which account for the observed mineral textures.
