Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Engineering Steels: An Exposition of the Properties of Steel for Engineers
Tee developments which have taken place in engineering during the past two decades have resulted in the request, by the engineer, for materials, and particularly steels, capable of performing higher duties than the older fashioned mild steels and wrought irons. The require ments of the automobile and aircraft industries in particular have created a demand for steels possessing distinctly high orders of mechanical properties. The metallurgists have in general supplied this demand. The mere fact that the designs of the engineer have called for a she] capable of withstanding high stresses has made it imperative for the engineer to ascertain, before use, that the steels do really possess the expected properties. This has led to extensive inspection and the compilation of many and varied specifications.
