The Chemical Analysis of Steel-Works' Materials (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Chemical Analysis of Steel-Works' Materials Since the publication of The Analysis of Steel-Works Materials in 1902, quite a number of text-books on pyrometry and microscopy have appeared, in response to the rapid growth and development of these highly important branches of metallurgy. This little volume, therefore, purports to be a new and revised edition, long overdue, of that section only of the work referred to, which treated of the analytical chemistry of the raw materials and finished products of ferrous metallurgy. Compiled at infrequent intervals, and under difficult circumstances, its defects are doubtless not few, and none the less because the authors esteemed friend, Harry Brearley, was unable to collaborate in its production. The author gratefully acknowledges the assistance of Drs. L. Aitchison and F. C. Thompson, and of Messrs. B. W. Methley, F.I.C., S.G. Clark, T. F. Russell, and E. V. Nicholson.

The Analysis of Steel-Works Materials (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Analysis of Steel-Works Materials Carbon is estimated in steel more frequently than any other element. Although its amount is often many times less than that of the other constituents with which the preponderating iron is associated, carbon is generally regarded as the sine qua non of the complex metallic substance called steel. Whether the manufacturer imagines it to im part the characters of steel to iron either by forming definite chemical compounds of iron and carbon, or by favouring the formation of allo tropic modifications of soft iron, or whether, as is perhaps more usual, he entertains no definite opinion at all concerning its function, carbon undoubtedly occupies a pre-eminent position in his mind. It has not always enjoyed this pride of place. For many years the claims of nitrogen as the steelifying element were ably supported, although such views are now generally discredited. That nitrogen has not, however, been entirely dispelled from the minds of metallurgists in this connection is evident from such occasional confessions as the following I am inclined to think that nitrogen is a powerful agent in the conversion of iron into steel.

The Sampling and Chemical Analysis of Iron and Steel (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Sampling and Chemical Analysis of Iron and Steel During many years of service in the Royal Testing Bureau the authors have noticed again and again how carelessly and often quite unscientifically the sampling of iron and steel for chemical analysis is carried out. The practical man usually assumes that the material for analysis has the same composition throughout its entire cross-section and that it is immaterial, therefore, where and how the samples are taken. This assumption is often incorrect. The complaints made against chemists, in cases of bad agreement in analytical results, are often unjust because the differences in chemical composition due to segregation are frequently much greater than the possible errors in the analytical procedures. Fortunately, however, with the aid of metallography and the macroscopic study of the structure, the chemist is now able to determine quickly and with certainty whether segregation has taken place. The first part of this book shows, by means of numerous examples taken from metallographic practice, how seriously the analytical results can be influenced by incorrect sampling. Before discussing them, a brief introduction to Metallography is given with a description of the necessary apparatus, the methods of etching, and the characteristic appearance of the different constituents. In the second part, the methods of chemical analysis are given in detail. In collecting these methods the main object has been to include only those methods which have been found reliable and have undergone the test of a number of years' use at the Royal Testing Bureau. They are suitable, therefore, for test and umpire analyses. Descriptions of the very rapid "works methods" are omitted because these processes aim to give quick results rather than values of great accuracy.

Modern Steel Analysis, Vol. 1


Book Description

Excerpt from Modern Steel Analysis, Vol. 1: A Selection of Practical, Methods for the Chemical, Analysis of Steel In writing the present book it has been the endeavour of the author to condense into a small space practical methods for the exact estimation of all those constituents of steel which are of fairly common occurrence. It is hoped that the book will be found useful by steel analysts who do not possess either the time or the facilities for personally sifting the mass of literature which is annually published on the subject, and that it will also meet the requirements of third and fourth year students who, after a general training in chemistry, are desirous of obtaining some practical experience in analysis which is commercially important. No attempt has been made to give a comprehensive description of all the processes used in the analysis of steel, but the methods detailed have been selected for their practical utility. A section on general procedure has been included primarily to meet the needs of students without experience in chemical practice, but it is hoped that some of the hints contained therein may also be of service to other chemists.
