Abstract
THE subject of the structures of steels is one of very considerable importance from many points of view, and the present volume will be welcomed by many readers. It gives a very clear and intelligible account of the subject and is well illustrated. The treatment is both physico-chemical and practical, the properties of interest to engineers being fully explained as well as the effects of heat-treatment, and many difficult points are elucidated. The book may be warmly recommended. The treatment is ‘simple’ only in the respect that the authors have taken pains to remove difficulties, and the standard is high. The plates of microstructure are very good, and the properties of special steels receive adequate treatment.
