Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Metallurgy
The literature of metallurgy is rich, but those who are beginning to study it need guidance to a knowledge of the principles on which the art is rightly practised. It depends, as is well known, on the application of chemistry, physics, and mechanics; but the methods of metallurgists vary greatly from those of chemists, who, however, frequently fail to appreciate the nature of the difference.
Ten years' experience has convinced me that it is more important at the outset for the student to know what was the scope of mind of the early practisers of metallurgy, and to see what kind of aid the art may be expected to receive in future from the sciences, than to acquire familiarity with complicated details of processes and appliances. In this little volume I have, therefore, devoted four chapters to these branches of the subject, embodying in them portions of lectures which I have delivered from time to time.
In all English works on metallurgy, the important metals are dealt with separately and in detail. In this, however, an attempt has been made to treat the subject as a whole, giving no minute descriptions of processes, but choosing typical appliances and indicating their use in connection with groups of metals. Such a method was adopted by the late M. Gruner, Professor of Metallurgy at the Ecole des Mines, Paris, to whom I have reason to be grateful, for I have closely followed him in my class lectures.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an introductory overview of the fundamental principles and applications of metallurgy. It explores the relationship between metallurgy and chemistry, examining how chemical principles have influenced the understanding and development of metallurgy throughout history. The author traces the evolution of metallurgy, from ancient practices to modern scientific methods, highlighting the significant role it has played in advancing human civilization. The book delves into the physical properties of various metals, including their molecular structures, density, malleability, ductility, and strength. It also discusses the mechanical properties of metals, such as elasticity, extensibility, and yield strength, providing practical insights into the behavior of metals under stress. Overall, this book offers a comprehensive introduction to metallurgy, its historical context, and its practical applications. Through the exploration of the relationship between chemistry and metallurgy, the author demonstrates the importance of metallurgy in shaping our understanding of materials and their uses in various industries. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
