Tool Steels, Data and Tables Appertaining to Electric Tool Steels 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. Factors affecting qualities OF steel. Chemical composition, method of manufacture, mechanical treatment in shaping and heat treatment before use, are all factors of importance in developing maximum serviceability in steel. Service failures may be due either to improper manufacture or to improper treatment after manufacture. Since the chemical composition, the method of manu facture and much of the mechanical treatment are factors that rest with the steelmaker, it is obvious that to produce the best steel for any particular use requires adequate and proper facilities and skill in manufacture.
