Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Principles of Iron Founding
The author, himself a foundryman, took up this work long after the completion Of his University training, and subsequently occupying a chair Of engineering at one Of the American mining schools. He therefore knew how unsatisfactory any work per formed must be to the thinking man if the reasons for so doing are not fully understood. Ever since 1890, therefore, he has worked in the laboratory and at cupola and furnace seeking the why and wherefore Of the things that lwere done and not done. In the course Of this scientific and practical experience, the author gained the Cooperation and friendship Of nearly all the world's great foundrymen - many Of whom are still with us; and his connec tion with the foundrymen Of America, as secretary Of their National organization for a seventh Of a century has put him rather closely in touch with the numerous and varied problems met within and without the foundry.
In all this active - almost frenzied rush of work, the author hav ing made nearly quarter Of a million tons Of castings in his time the great need Of a thorough understanding Of the principles involved in iron founding was ever present, and as so little was definitely known every new problem when fully worked out meant a definite advance. American foundrymen and metallurgists can properly claim the credit for the modern foundry develop ment, and this because the disinterested workers gave the world the benefit Of their investigations. The transactions Of the foundryman's associations and the great iron trade journals are still the repositories of this growing fund Of information which nevertheless requires discriminating study to separate the kernel from the chaff.

Excerpt from The Principles of Iron Founding
The object of this work is the elucidation of the principles underlying all of the processes involved in the art of iron founding. The author has himself often felt the need of such a study, for while a number of books on the foundry exist - some very excellent in their way - these are either a collection of data often very poorly digested, or a series of descriptions of methods of operation without giving all the underlying reasons therefor.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of iron founding, a craft that has shaped human civilization for centuries. Beginning with the earliest recorded use of iron in ancient Egypt and tracing its evolution through the Middle Ages, the author provides a rich historical context for understanding the development of this crucial industry. You'll learn about the invention of the blast furnace, the transition from charcoal to coke as a fuel source, and the rise of stove plate production as a major commercial enterprise. The book explores the technical details of iron metallurgy, including the role of various elements in the composition of cast iron, and examines the properties of cast iron, such as fusibility, fluidity, and strength. The author's extensive practical experience shines through as he details the historical development of the cupola, a crucial tool in the iron founding process, and examines the different types of furnaces used in melting iron. Ultimately, this book reveals the rich history, scientific complexities, and lasting impact of iron founding on human progress. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330836545_0
