Metallurgical Calculations (1918)

Metallurgical Calculations is a comprehensive book written by Joseph William Richards and first published in 1918. The book provides a detailed overview of the mathematical calculations and principles involved in metallurgy. It covers a wide range of topics, including the physical and chemical properties of metals, the behavior of alloys, and the processes involved in the production of metals. The book is divided into four main sections. The first section covers the basic principles of metallurgy, including the properties of metals and alloys, and the behavior of metals under different conditions. The second section focuses on the processes involved in the production of metals, including smelting, refining, and casting. The third section covers the properties of alloys and the calculations involved in their production. The fourth and final section covers the use of metallurgical calculations in the design and operation of metallurgical processes.Throughout the book, Richards provides detailed explanations of the mathematical calculations involved in metallurgy, including equations, formulas, and examples. He also includes numerous tables and charts to aid in calculations and provide reference information.Metallurgical Calculations is a valuable resource for students and professionals in the field of metallurgy, as well as anyone interested in the science of metals and alloys. It is a classic work that has been widely used and referenced in the field for over a century.Contains Part 1, Introduction, Chemical And Thermal Principles, Problems In Combustion, And Radiation And Conduction Of Heat; Part 1, Applications To The Metallurgy Of Iron And Steel; Part 3, Applications To Other Metals, Non-Ferrous Metals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
