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.
