Sinopsis
A clear, practical introduction to metallurgy that shows how metals are made, treated, and used.
From the fundamentals of how metals are extracted and adapted for use to the details of furnaces, fuels, and alloys, this book builds a practical picture of metallurgical science. It emphasizes real-world processes, cost considerations, and the way heat, chemistry, and materials choice shape metal behavior.
What you’ll experience
- Foundations of how different fuels and carbonised fuels affect furnace operation and metal quality
- Overview of furnace types, from blast furnaces to coke ovens, and how they influence production
- Introduction to alloys, their compositions, and how heat treatment changes properties
- Insight into practical considerations like cost of production and material adaptation
Ideal for readers seeking a solid, accessible introduction to metallurgy, its methods, and its practical applications.

Reseña del editor
Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Metallurgy
The literature of metallurgy is rich, but those who are beginning to study it need guidance to a knowledge of the principles on which the art is rightly practised. It depends, as is well known, on the application of chemistry, physics, and mechanics; but the methods of metallurgists vary greatly from those of chemists, who, however, frequently fail to appreciate the nature of the difference.
