Abstract
THE only addition to this issue of “Steel and its Heat Treatment” is a chapter on nitriding, contributed by Dr. V. O. Homerberg. In the space of sixteen pages a brief outline is given of the nature and conduct of the nitriding process, of the steels suitable for nitriding, and of their properties after treatment. Otherwise the book remains the same, although eight years have passed since the preparation of the previous edition. There is still, therefore, no reference to the notched-bar impact tests to which British metallurgists rightly attach so much importance, to grain size control (although this originated in America), to the newer types of stainless steels, or to manganese -molybdenum steels.
