Steel and Iron: Comprising the Practice and Theory of the Several Methods, Pursued in Their Manufacture, and of Their, Treatment in the Rolling Mills, the Forge, and the Foundry (Classic Reprint)

Steel and I ron has been to produce, within moderate limits, a comprehensive Manual of practical information and of the scientific principles upon which the practice rests. The author hopes in this manner to render the book of service to the general student of the branch ofT echnical Science of which it treats, and also to offer to the intelligent workman a succinct statement of the scientific principles upon which depends the success of the several processes conducted or superintended by him, and upon which the construction of his plant or machinery is based. The book, therefore, is not intended to supersede the experience and practical knowledge that can be gained only in theW orks, but the author hopes it will be found a useful adjunct to, and contribute to a clearer understanding of, these things. The information has, as far as possible, been brought up to date, and for this purpose numerous articles in English andF oreign Scientific Journals and Proceedings of Societies have been consulted.
