Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book collates the findings of the author's research into the geology and chemistry of the American clay deposits used in constructing crucibles and glassware. The text is introduced by a contextual overview of the contemporary state of American refractories manufacture, particularly the crucibles used in steel and brass melting. The author explains how the suitability of these clays for different purposes is determined by their chemical composition and physical properties, illustrated by extensive testing data. Many detailed chemical analyses of both the American and foreign clays are included, and the tests are described in detail to aid other researchers in their investigations. This book is an invaluable tool for ceramicists, metallurgists, geologists, and materials scientists working in the field of refractory manufacturing, particularly those interested in American sources of alternatives to European clays historically used in these constructions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
