Synopsis

Excerpt from A Practice Book in Elementary Metallurgy

In Experiments N os. I to 5 inclusive are presented a number of general experiments which form. An introduction to the study of metallurgy.

Laboratory work in metallurgy is largely confined to the study Of the behavior of solids at moderately high heat. It is essential, therefore, that the first experiment should instruct the student in the furnace provided for Obtaining these temperatures.

Systematic metallurgy naturally starts with the production of the pure metals from the compounds or salts found in nature. The chemical processes involved in these operations are quite dissimilar to the test-tube reactions with which ~the student is already familiar. Experiments nos. 2 and 3, on oxidizing and reducing reactions, are given in order that the student may adjust his state of mind to the metallurgical wpoint.
