A lexandria. The purpose of this paper is to present in systematic form a summary of the best that has been written upon this subject. Some hitherto unpublished data have been secured; the opinions of manufacturers and users have been collected; and the various uses to which nickel-steel is applied have been investigated and recorded. My thanks are due toM r. E. F. Wood, ofT he Carnegie Steel Co.; Mr. H. F. J. Porter, ofT he Bethlehem Steel Co.; Mr. G. H. Chase, ofT heM idvale Steel Co.; Mr. Henry Souther, ofT heP ope Manufacturing Co.; Mr. H. J. Williams, of theD amascus Tool Co.; and Mr, H. K. Landie, of New York, for procuring new data, and for kindly aid in obtaining comparative tests. It is hoped that the material thus collated may prove interesting and useful to all who are in anyway concerned with the manufacture and use of steel. Physical Qualities of Nickel. The three metals, iron, manganese and nickel, form a group having remarkably similar physical and chemical qualities. In specific weight, atomic weight, atomic volume, melting-point and color, these metals have a close family resemblance. While an examination of any one of these reveals no remark able physical superiority over the others, the fact remains that each seems to exercise, in an alloy, a beneficial effect upon the other two.. The addition of small amounts of these metals to one another produces alloys much superior in physical qualities to the pure metals. Manganese increases the strength of pure nickel; and both manganese and nickel greatly increase the strength of pure iron. The most careful investigations yet made upon the alloys of nickel and iron are those of the committee appointed in 1891 by theB erlinS ociety for theE ncouragement ofT echnical I ndustry. The reports of this committee, compiled by Professors Wedding andE udeloff, and published from time to time in the Verhandlu
