Tool Steel, Its Uses and Treatment for the Practical Mechanic


Book Description

Excerpt from Tool Steel, Its Uses and Treatment for the Practical Mechanic This booklet is an attempt to simplify problems which arise in connection with the heat treatment of Tool-Steel. While one of its objects is to increase the already large number of users who recognize the superiority of Bourne-Fuller Tool-Steels, we believe it will also be useful in many other ways, as it is the result of many years of practical experience, coupled with a thorough scientific understanding of the entire subject. This means a wide acquaintance with the practical problems of the machine-shop, as well as those in the making of the steel itself. Our Tool-Steel representatives are experts in the selection, treatment, and uses of our steels. Their advice and co-operation is at your service any time, and we trust you will avail yourself of our readiness to assist you in obtaining maximum results.
