Aluminium Oxide Abrasive Grit: Alundum by Jacobs's Process (Stansfield, 1914)
Alundum, the artificial corundum made at Niagara Falls by the Norton Company: bauxite, calcined to drive off its water, is fused in an electric arc furnace with about 5 per cent carbon, which reduces its iron, silicon and titanium to metal nodules; the fused alumina cools slowly into a hard crystalline mass that is crushed and sized as abrasive grit.
Bauxite melts near 2,000 °C and could not be melted commercially without the electric furnace.

Fuse in the arc furnace
Strike arcs between the electrodes and the carbon lining of the furnace bottom, then feed the calcined bauxite, with about 5 per cent carbon, in round the arcs; it melts and in time carries the current between the two arcs. Lower the water-cooled shell as the fused alundum builds up; the lower part solidifies as it fills.

Cool slowly
When the shell is full, lift it with its contents off the base, put another shell in place, and let the alundum cool slowly so it grows into a hard, tough crystalline mass.
