Excerpt from The Separation of the Sub-Group Arsenic, Antimony and Tin From the Sulphide Group of Elements
The science and art of making alloys dates back to the days of ancient history. The Greeks and Romans made bronzes and amalgams but they had only a few metals for compounding, such as tin, gold, copper, iron, silver and mercury. As the other metals came into use, more combinations were possible until today there are almost numberless alloys having different constitution and properties. The effects of varying amounts of certain metals were studied and at the present time we know what properties certain metals have and what properties they will give to alloys in which they are used. Some increase or decrease the specific gravity, others the hardness, others the ductility, others the conductivity, others the resistance to corrosion by weathering and acids, etc.
There is a very important group of alloys such as brasses, bronzes,* gun metals, bell metals, babbitts, type metals. Solders, Brittania metal, etc. These contain chiefly copper, lead, tin and antimony, with some other metals such as nickel, iron, cobalt, aluminum, and zinc. A variation, in small amounts of any of these metals may produce a large change in the property of the alloy so that it becomes important to have an accurate analysis of the alloy in question. It is expedient therefore, to have a method of analysis which is accurate, speedy and simple for use in industrial laboratories where a knowledge of the exact composition is essential.
