Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Practice Book in Elementary Metallurgy Some two years ago the author of this volume was confronted with the problem of presenting intensive lecture and laboratory courses in metallurgy to cooperative students in mechanical, civil, and electrical engineering at the Engineering College, University of Cincinnati. Drawing upon his own professional experience, he concluded that for such students the subject matter should most profitably be arranged to throw light particularly upon the metallic materials of engineering construction; how they are gained from mother nature; how they are further refined and worked; and how their chemical composition and past history influence their various physical properties, and their adaptability for the duty expected of them. Some difficulty was experienced in discovering recent books of moderate price covering the field of non-ferrous metals and alloys, as well as iron and steel, which could be used as texts. Fortunately, Mr. A. P. Mills, of Cornell University, brought out his excellent book on "Materials of Construction" at about that time, which fitted our needs excellently. The problem of securing a laboratory manual, however, presented greater difficulties. The only note-books then known to us were those by H. M. Howe of Columbia University, and by Albert Sauveur and H. M. Boylston of Harvard University. These books, altho excellent, did not seem to be wholly adaptable to our needs, so they were studied carefully, together with some older laboratory exercises inherited from former instructors, and a set of mimeographed instructions hastily prepared to carry the class thru the first course. Many weak points appeared in every experiment performed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
