Iron And Steel Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Iron and Steel Iron is the most important of all the metals that have been pressed into the service of man, which is due, not only to its great abundance in Nature, but also to its unique properties. The result of this is that no one metal has received so much attention from both practical men and scientists, as is shown by the fact that some of the most prominent men in Europe and America are investigating the many chemical and physical properties of the metal and its application to the requirements of civilisation. Thus an enormous mass of information has accumulated, and is to be found in original papers and books. Portions of the subject are still in their youth and are growing vigorously, so that the teacher of to-day must become the student of to-morrow. On the other hand, parts of it are so old that their origin is lost in the mists of time, and dates back to the first glimmerings of that intelligence which now enables man to utilise to the fullest extent the valuable properties of the metal.

Excerpt from The Story of Iron and Steel I am personally indebted to my colleague, Prof. E. S. Meade, for valuable suggestions, and to a number of iron manufacturers (who do not Wish their names mentioned) for much useful information.

Excerpt from Fifty Years of Iron and Steel O have lived during a period of over sixty years of T the world's greatest accomplishment and to have been an eye-witness especially of the great development in this country's iron and steel industry, should be almost glory enough. To have been, during this period, an active factor in this constructive work, at all times taking a leading part in all of the industry's activities, makes the author of this paper a unique figure among American men of affairs - men who have done things. To have been an eye-witness of iron and steel development from the conversion of the first barrel of Lake Superior ore to a period when over sixty million tons come down the Lakes and other millions are smelted in the Upper Lake region, is something few have experienced. To have been connected with the pig iron industry when only six hundred thousand tons were made a year and be still connected with it when nearly forty million tons have been produced in this same period, is an honor that probably no one else can claim.

Excerpt from The Metallography of Iron and Steel While several excellent books on metallography have been published and while numerous papers on the metallography of iron and steel have appeared in the scientific and technical press, a well-balanced, specific, and comprehensive treatise on the subject has not heretofore been written. In the belief that there is a real and urgent need of such a treatise the author has endeavored to supply it, craving for his effort the indulgent criticism of his readers. He offers his book to those seeking self-instruction in the metallography of iron and steel, their special needs having been carefully considered in the arrangement of the lessons; he offers it to teachers and students trusting that they will find it valuable and suggestive as a text-book; he offers it to manufacturers and users of iron and steel in the belief that he has given due weight to the practical side of the subject and has avoided discussions of ill-founded or purely speculative theories; he offers it to the general reader interested in the scientific or practical features of the metallography of iron and steel, as the language used should be readily understood by those lacking specialized knowledge of the subject; he offers it to experts in the hope that they will find it not entirely devoid of original thought, original treatment, and suggestiveness. In the matter of illustrations and especially of photomicrographs the author's aim has been to utilize the best available, using his own or those taken in his laboratory only when no better ones have, to his knowledge, been published by others. The original source of every illustration has been indicated and the author desires to express his indebtedness to the following writers, the figures in parenthesis showing the number of illustrations from each: Andrews (3), Arnold (7), Bayley (1), Belaiew (5), Brearley (2), Carpenter and Keeling (l), Sherard Cowper-Coles (1), Desch (4), Edwards (2), Ewing and Rosenhain (2), Guillet (18), Goerens (9), Gulliver (2), Hall (1), Houghton (1), Kroll (1), Law (8), Levy (1), Longmuir (2), Matweieff (1), Maurer (1), Mellor (1), Osmond (17), Roberts-Austen (1), Robin (1), Roland-Gosselin (1), Rosenhain (2), Saladin (2), Sorby (1), Stead (13), Tschermak (3), Tschernoff (1), Wust (5), Ziegler (1). All illustrations not otherwise inscribed are the author's. The author cannot refrain from expressing here the sorrow and sense of personal loss he experienced when the news was received, while this book was passing through the press, of the death of Floris Osmond, for to the author, as no doubt to many others, Osmond's work and Osmond's life have been an inspiration.

Excerpt from The Manufacture and Properties Iron and Steel Some readers might prefer that less space should be devoted to theoretical matter and more to descriptions of apparatus, but in my Opinion the place for such information is in the trade periodicals. It takes so long to print a book that drawings are antiquated when the issue appears, but the fundamental principles of metallurgy remain the same. A book issued in England refers courteously to the former edition of this work, but states that little information is given concerning the practical details of operation. That 'same book sets forth that an open-hearth furnace is charged by putting the pig-iron in first; that in a. Twenty-five-ton furnace not over nine men can be employed, even when there are doors on both sides, and that with rapid work it takes two hours to charge a heat. Now those figures are true for the district with which that writer was familiar, but in America the pig-iron is put in last, while at Steel ton on a furnace of the size mentioned we use twice the number of men and with good scrap finish the work by charging, by hand labor only, in a period ranging from thirty minutes down to eleven minutes. Of equal value is much of the ao-called practical infor mation given in metallurgical treatises. It only remains to thank many friends, both at home and abroad, for aiding in this work which has been accomplished in the intervals of what I trust is not otherwise an entirely idle life.

Excerpt from The Manufacture and Properties of Iron and Steel I have compared at some length the condition of the industry in each separate country. These descriptions of the various dis tricts or provinces are not intended as complete investigations. It would be impossible for instance to describe the American districts so fully that every engineer and metallurgist of our country would find all the information he might wish, or even find a record of all that he already knows. It would also be impossible to tell an Eng lish engineer much about those parts of his own country with which he is acquainted. It may be possible, however, to give some facts for the benefit of travelers; to clear the way for a foreigner visit ing America, or an American visiting other lands. It 'is for this purpose only that these articles have been written and their end will be accomplished if they furnish certain fundamental facts on which to base such a journey. Some readers might prefer that less space should be devoted to theoretical matter and more to descriptions and drawings of fur naces and apparatus, but in my opinion the place for such informa tion is in the trade periodicals. It takes so long to print a book like this that the drawings are antiquated when the issue appears, and every year that it stands upon the shelf it becomes more and more a catalogue of discarded devices, while on the other hand the fundamental principles of metallurgy remain the same from year to year, and their value knows no depreciation.

Excerpt from Report on Iron and Steel Two or more excellent reports upon the iron and steel at Vienna have been published abroad; one, by Messrs. Maw 85 Dredge, appears in the reports of the British commission; another, by Anton Kerpely, appears in a separate and private publication, in two parts, at Schemnitz Des Eiimi auf der Wiener Weltausstellung.
