Heat Treatment of Soft and Medium Steel

Federico Giolitti

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Among other characteristic properties directly due to the melting practice, one may mention the various degrees of deoxidation of the metal, and the kind, quantity, subdivision, and distribution of the non metallic inclusions, all of which are difficult to modify by manipulating the solidified steel.
