Learn how heat changes steel—from soft, ductile ferrite to hard, brittle carbide—so you can predict and control performance in real-world work.
This edition explains, in clear terms, how microscopic crystals form and how carbon content shapes the steel’s grains. It covers the practical steps of heating, quenching, and tempering, with guidance you can apply in forge, shop, or foundry. The goal is to help you understand why different heat treatments produce different balances of hardness, strength, and machinability.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of steel, exploring the science behind its heat treatment and the impact it has on the material's properties. The author, a resident expert at the Chicago Electric Motor Car Co., guides readers through the intricacies of steel's microscopic structure, explaining how different heat treatments can alter its strength, hardness, and ductility. Written in an accessible style, the book utilizes a "mixing theory" to demystify the complex process of heat treating, making it understandable for both steel users and those with limited scientific background. The book sheds light on the importance of heat treatment in the context of manufacturing and engineering. By examining the properties of various types of steel, the author highlights how manipulating the heat can transform a brittle metal into a durable, machinable material suitable for a wide range of applications. The book also touches on the limitations of heat treatment, explaining how burned steel can be irrevocably damaged. Ultimately, the book's insights into the science behind steel heat treatment offer a valuable understanding of the material's transformation and its influence on industrial production.
