Excerpt from The Metallic Alloys: A Practical Guide for the Manufacture of All Kinds of Alloys, Amalgams, and Soldiers, Used by Metal-Workers, Together With Their Chemical and Physical Properties and Their Application in the Arts and the IndustriesIT is not claimed that the work here presented actually fills a void in our technical literature, but it is believed that there is no other recent one in the English language on the Metallic Alloys which combines with practical use fulness a sufficiently popular character for those readers who have not made Metallurgy and its kindred Arts objects of special study. The endeavor has been made to offer a book which fully treats on all matters relating to the subject, and which will explain to the Mechanic and Artist the properties of the metallic alloys and amalgams as far as they find application in any branch of technology and the industries.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
