Synopsis

Understand how microstructure and cooling curves reveal the secrets of non‑ferrous alloys.

This practical guide shows how metallography and thermal analysis explain alloy behavior, solidification, and the structure you can see under the microscope. The book explains core ideas like cooling and freezing curves, simple and equilibrium diagrams, and how to interpret heat changes during solidification. It also covers the behavior of copper and its alloys, how mechanical work changes metal structure, and methods for revealing microstructure through etching.

  • How cooling curves reflect the amount of material and the solidification process
  • How to read equilibrium diagrams for aluminum–lead and copper–tin systems
  • Practical notes on deoxidizing copper and the effects of mechanical work on metals
  • Etching techniques to reveal crystal structure in copper alloys
Ideal for readers of practical metalwork and materials science, this edition helps you connect theory with hands‑on metallography and alloy testing.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
