Excerpt from Metallurgy: An Introduction to the Study of Physical MetallurgyThe present volume is intended to serve as an introduction to the subject of Physical Metallurgy for those who are interested in the physics and physical chemistry of metals, whether as scientific investigators, manufacturers or users of metals, or students of metallurgy, engineering and allied subjects in which a knowledge of metals plays an important part. The volume also serves as an introduction to the Metallurgical Series which is in course of publication by Messrs. Constable under the editorship of the author. In the various volumes of this series will be found that more detailed treatment of many of the principal subjects touched upon in this book which is required by those particularly interested in any one metal or alloy or in some special aspect of the subject. With these more detailed volumes in view, the treatment of the whole subject in the present work has been intentionally kept somewhat general, the object of the author being to awaken interest and to stimulate thought and ideas rather than to communicate a great mass of detailed data.In writing such a book the author has necessarily relied very largely upon the work of others, and in the tables of references at the end of each chapter he has endeavoured to make the only real acknowledgement which is possible in such circumstances. These references lay no claim to being an exhaustive bibliography of the subjects touched upon, but they constitute a fair guide to introductory reading. In regard to illustrations also, the author is indebted to many others for the examples he has chosen. As far as possible, the micrographs particularly have been taken from the author's own work or from that of members of the staff of the Metallurgy Department at the National Physical Laboratory.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
