Puddling (metallurgy)
Wet puddling had the advantage that it was much more efficient than dry puddling (or any earlier process). The best yield of iron achievable from dry puddling is one ton of iron from 1.3 tons of pig iron (a yield of 77%), but the yield from wet puddling was

Puddling (agriculture)
Puddling is the tillage of rice paddies while flooded, an ancient practice that is used to prepare for rice cultivation. Puddling reduces the percolation rates of water by churning the clay particles and making them close many of the soil pores.

Shingling
Shingling was a stage in the production of bar iron or steel, in the finery and puddling processes. In the finery, this was part of the work of the finer; during puddling, it was done by a special workman called the shingler.

Iron puddler
An iron puddler (often merely puddler) was a worker in iron manufacturing who specialized in puddling, an improved process to convert pig iron into wrought Puddling was never automated because the puddler had to sense when the balls had "come to nature."

Peter Onions
Peter Onions (1724 – 1798) was an English ironmaster and the inventor of an early puddling process used for the refining of pig iron into wrought iron. Henry Cort later improved on Onion's process during the development of his puddling furnace.

In May 1787 he took out a licence from Henry Cort for his puddling process, but the rolling mill needed was not completed until 1789. He solved the problems of the puddling process by using an iron plate for the furnace ceiling and sea-washed sand for the floor.
