Iron and Steel e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. IN this small book an. Attempt is made to present in as short a manner as possible the more important principles of the metallurgy of iron and steel, and it is hoped that engineers and other users of these metals, as well as students of metallurgy, will find something of value in its pages. Practical details of the methods of production have been avoided almost entirely, in order that more attention may be devoted to such matters as an explanation of the constitution of steel and cast iron and the effect of mechanical and heat treatment on the proper ties Oi these alloys. The important subject of corrosion of steel and iron has been fully dealt with in a section specially contributed by Dr. Bengough, the editor Of this series.
