The Physical Chemistry of Steelmaking (MIT Press Classics)

This voluem contains the papers presented at the Conference on The Physical Chemistry of Iron and Steelmaking which was held at MIT in 1956. For brevity, the pertinent points of the discussions have been summarized and these summaries follow the papers. The aim of the conference was to bring together metallurgists who were actively working in the field and who were qualified by background and experience to contribute significantly both formally and informally. The program was designed to include papers on the latest research in the field and also to stimulate the conferees to think about how these fundamental data can be used to obtain a better understanding of actual steelmaking systems.
