Steel And Iron: For Advanced Students (1903)

Council of the I ron and Steel Institute for permission to quote from their indispensable Journals, The following works have also been consulted: Turner s Iron, Howe s Steel, Phillips and Bauerman s Metallurgy Bauerman s Iron and Steel, Greenwood s Steel and I ron, Roberts-A usten s Introduction to Metallurgy, Uncychpcedia Britanmca, Journals of Mechanical Engineers and Electricians, as well as certain American and foreign publications, etc. Although the title Steel and I ron is given to the book, it has been deemed advisable to treat I ron first, since in the manufacture of steel iron is first extracted from its ores and afterwards converted into steel; but the author wishes to convey the impression that steel is now by far the more important body from a commercial point of view, and has largely replaced iron for many manufacturing purposes. This is due to its superior strength and power of resisting external influences. As refractory materials play a very prominent part in furnace construction a brief account of such bodies is given as a guide to the student. A short chapter is also devoted to fuel, as a useful guide in assisting the student to more thoroughly appreciate the advantages of the different fuels used in the various furnaces referred to in the iron and steel sections.
