A Practical Guide to Iron and Steel Works Analyses being Selections from Laboratory Notes on Iron and Steel Analyses Walter Macfarlane

This vintage book contains a collection of notes originally written for the guidance of the staff in an iron and steel works laboratory. It is an abbreviated version of "Laboratory Notes on Iron and Steel Analyses" that was condensed to meet the needs of those who did not want to enter for the complete analytical course. Contents include: "Analysis of Steel", "Estimation of Combined Carbon", "Colorimetric Method", "Notes on the Process", "Rapid Estimation", "Estimation of Silicon", "Estimation of Phosphorus", "Estimation of Manganese", "Estimation of Sulphur", "Analysis of Pig Iron", "Analysis of Limestone", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on blacksmithing. First published in 1910.
