Excerpt from Department of Scientific and Industrial Research on the Electro-Deposition of Iron: With an Appendix Containing a Bibliography of the SubjectAlthough the deposits considered were formed in the chloride of iron solution, there is, it may be said, experimental evidence to show that the conclusions drawn from the structures of deposits built up in that bath may be extended to those formed in other solutions. This point is touched on in Division 2, and, further, some evidence is adduced there to show that extension may be made not only to deposits formed in different solutions (solutions of different salts, that is) of the same metal, but also to deposits Of different metals. Indeed, a principal purpose of Division 2 is to show that, in general, this is the rational conclusion of the concentra tion hypothesis outlined in that Division and based on the assumption that the crystallisation of electro-deposited metal is, essentially, in no way different from crystallisation from rock magmas, molten metals, or salt solutions. In Section III of Division 2 the importance Of the study of the structure of deposited metal to electro-deposition in the workshop is brie¿y pointed out.It may be mentioned that. The author has made a critical survey of such part Of the literature upon the electro-deposition of iron as appears to him of use or importance to those about to undertake work on that subject. It has, however, been considered that that review would be published most appropriately elsewhere, * and it has not, therefore, been included in this report. The papers and researches referred to are, however, detailed (in an Appendix hereto), together with others on the properties of electrolytic iron, in a classification intended to indicate the general subject matter Of each, and, thereby, to facilitate the literary labour required to be done by one who undertakes research, for this purpose-or that, on electrolytic iron. Patent specifications are, for the most part, excluded, only such as appear to the author to contain subject matter Of real value are noted.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
