Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book offers a coherent and in-depth examination of meteoric iron through the lens of metallography, a scientific discipline that explores the structure and properties of metals through microscopic examination. It delves into the historical backdrop of this field and traces its evolution over time, encompassing both the pioneering efforts of early researchers and the cutting-edge techniques employed by contemporary scientists. Beyond establishing this historical foundation, the book also delves deeply into the intricate structures of meteoric iron, meticulously describing the various types of meteorites and their distinct characteristics. This includes granular, octahedral, and ataxite meteorites, each with its unique patterns and features, such as the renowned Widmanstatten pattern observed in octahedral irons. By investigating these structures, the author unravels the fascinating processes that occur during the formation and cooling of these celestial bodies, providing insights into their origins and the conditions they encountered during their journey through space. This illuminating work sheds light not only on the properties of meteoric iron but also on the broader context of meteorite classification and the captivating realm of cosmic phenomena. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. …
