Excerpt from Nickel-Steel a Synopsis of Experiment and Opinion

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this paper is to present in systematic form a summary of the best that has been written upon this subject Some hitherto unpublished data have been secured; the opinions of manufacturers and users have been collected; and the various uses to which nickel-steel is applied have been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 to Mr. E. F. Wood, of The Carnegie Steel Co.; Mr. H. F. J. Porter, of The Bethlehem Steel Co.; Mr. G. H. Chase, of The Midvale Steel Co.; Mr. Henry Souther, of The Pope Manufacturing Co.; Mr. H. J. Williams, of the Damascus Tool Co.; and Mr. H. K. Landis, 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 any way 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 remarkable 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 the Berlin "Society for the Encouragement of Technical Industry." The reports of this committee, compiled by Professors Wedding and Rudeloff, and published from time to time in the Verhandlungen des Vereins zur Beforderung des Gewerbfleisses, will form, when completed, a systematic record of the properties of the alloys of nickel and iron. As these papers have not yet been translated into English, and as the original reports arc not easily accessible in the United States, I have given, in the following pages, very full excerpts from them.
