Excerpt from The Chemistry of the Materials of Engineering
It is impossible to enumerate the authorities that have been con sulted, and very few references have been given, as the students, at the stage when they will use this book, are hardly likely to be in a position to read the Transactions of Societies, fine. It is hoped that this little book may be useful as introduction to the larger books on the subject.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book was written to address the need for a convenient, introductory textbook on materials of engineering for both students and instructors. The author, a professor who has taught the subject to engineering students for many years, presents a clear and thorough treatment of the chemical composition of engineering materials and how their transformation through treatment processes impact their physical properties. The book begins by setting out the chemical principles on which the book is based, assumes a reader working with a basic understanding of chemistry, and provides enough information on exceptions to prepare the reader for more advanced study. Beyond basic chemical composition, the author moves on to discuss the different processes by which the raw materials are transformed and shaped into useful materials for the construction of bridges, buildings, and machines, with an emphasis on iron and steel. The author includes a chapter on the testing of materials to assess the success of different processes and predict the suitability of materials for different applications. The book presents a broad treatment of a critical and foundational element of engineering and can be applied by industries across a wide spectrum of interests, including aerospace, chemical plants, power generation, nuclear power, marine engineering, and manufacturing. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
