A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book has been written especially for the nontechnical employees of the Carnegie Steel Company, and others, who, seeking self instruction, may desire to secure in the shortest time possible a general knowledge of the metallurgy of iron and steel. The book is the outcome of several years experience in attempting to teach the metallurgy of steel to our salesmen and other nontechnical employees. From the first, the method pursued in this work has been that of taking the students, under proper guidance, into the mills, where they obtain, first hand and individually, such information as they desire and are able to collect, and of supplementing the knowledge gained from these visits with talks and explanations delivered in a classroom where conditions are more favorable for this kind 01 instruction than they are in the mills. These talks, in a condensed form, were put in writing, and a copy given to each of the students. As the demand for these lectures increased, it was decided that, for the sake of convenience, they should be printed; and accordingly they were re vised and are here assembled in the present volume. In order to increase the value of the book as a reference book, we have aimed to condense the information and to avoid every unnecessary word, both by omitting all matter from the text not absolutely essential and by the free use of tables, drawings and diagrams, which we permit to tell their own story. However, knowing our readers will be men imbued with a desire to learn, we have not avoided discussing many scientific aspects of our subjects. But here we have tried to make it easy even for the general reader. We have aimed to use language as simple as possible, consistent with clearness, and to treat our subjects in such a way that, aside from what a limited education supplies, no prerequisites will be required. We start with the elementary subje

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.
