Publisher's Synopsis
""The Crystallization of Iron and Steel: An Introduction to the Study of Metallography"" is a book written by Joseph William Mellor and published in 1905. The book is an authoritative guide to the study of metallography, focusing specifically on the crystallization of iron and steel. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and techniques of metallography, including the use of microscopes and other tools to study the structure of metals and alloys. It also covers the various methods of preparing metal samples for analysis, such as polishing and etching, and discusses the different types of microstructures that can be observed in iron and steel.Throughout the book, Mellor provides detailed descriptions and illustrations of the various crystal structures and properties of iron and steel, as well as the effects of different factors such as heat treatment and alloying on their microstructures. He also discusses the practical applications of metallography in the fields of engineering and metallurgy.Overall, ""The Crystallization of Iron and Steel"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of metallography, particularly those working in the fields of materials science, engineering, and metallurgy. Its clear and concise explanations, combined with detailed illustrations and examples, make it an accessible and informative guide to the subject.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
