The first part covers the principles of hardening and tempering, including the different methods and techniques used in the process. The second part focuses on the practical aspects of hardening and tempering, such as selecting the right tools and equipment, preparing the metal for heat treatment, and controlling the temperature and cooling rate during the process.The third part of the book is dedicated to specific applications of hardening and tempering, including the treatment of different types of steel, iron, and other metals. The book also includes detailed instructions on how to make various tools and implements, such as chisels, drills, and saw blades, using the techniques described in the book.Overall, Hardening and Tempering is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the art and science of metalworking. The book provides a wealth of information on the principles and techniques of hardening and tempering, as well as practical advice for applying these techniques to a variety of metals and applications.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
