Abstract
RESEARCH in steel metallurgy is directed in the main to three principal aspects (a) elucidation and improvement of the processes of steel manufacture and manipulation; (b) investigation of the properties of steel under variable conditions approximating to those of service; and (c) exploration of the influence of added elements and of the effect of heat treatment in advantageously modifying the properties of steel and producing those best required under (b). It can in truth be said that great progress has taken place under each heading of late years.
