This edition of the "Machinery's Reference Series" deals with iron and steel, exploring how they are smelted, refined, and used in various mechanical processes of the iron and steel industry. It also contains chapters on the physical and chemical characteristics of these metals, and which tools they are best used to make based on this. Erik Oberg's "Iron and Steel" is perfect for novices or apprentices, and would make a handy reference guide for more experienced metalworkers. Contents include: "Principles of Iron and Steel Manufacture", "Steel Castings", "Open-hearth Furnaces", "Tests on Steel Castings", "Steel Hardened Metals", "Development and Use of High-speed Steel", "Hardening Steel, by E.
