Metallography

Metallography: An Introduction To The Study Of The Structure Of Metals, Chiefly By The Aid Of The Microscope (1902) is a book written by Arthur Horseman Hiorns. The book is an introduction to the study of the structure of metals, with a focus on the use of the microscope. The author provides a comprehensive overview of the field of metallography, including the history of the subject, the methods used to study metals, and the various types of microscopes that are used in the field.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of metallography. The first chapter provides an introduction to the subject, including a brief history of the study of metals. The second chapter covers the preparation of specimens for examination under the microscope, including the various techniques used to polish and etch the samples.The third chapter covers the various types of microscopes that are used in metallography, including the light microscope, the polarizing microscope, and the electron microscope. The fourth chapter covers the structure of metals, including the various types of crystal structures that are found in metals.The fifth chapter covers the effects of heat treatment on the structure of metals, including the various types of heat treatment that are used to modify the properties of metals. The sixth chapter covers the effects of mechanical deformation on the structure of metals, including the various types of deformation that can be applied to metals.The seventh chapter covers the various types of alloys that are used in metallography, including the various types of steel and other alloys that are commonly used in industry. The final chapter provides a summary of the book and discusses the future of metallography.Overall, Metallography: An Introduction To The Study Of The Structure Of Metals, Chiefly By The Aid Of The Microscope (1902) is a comprehensive introduction to the field of metallography, providing readers with a detailed overview of the subject and the various techniques and methods that are used to study the structure of metals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
