Principles Of Metallography (1919)

By Robert Seaton Williams and PH.D. Robert S.Williams,S.B.

Book Overview

""Principles of Metallography"" is a comprehensive guide to the study of metals and their microstructures, written by Robert Seaton Williams and first published in 1919. The book provides a detailed overview of the principles and techniques used in metallography, including the preparation of metal samples for microscopic examination, the interpretation of microstructures, and the analysis of mechanical properties. The book is divided into three main sections: the first section covers the basic principles of metallography, including the structure and properties of metals, the preparation of metal samples, and the use of microscopy in metallography. The second section focuses on the interpretation of microstructures, including the identification of different phases and the analysis of grain boundaries and defects. The final section covers the analysis of mechanical properties, including the effects of heat treatment, deformation, and other factors on the behavior of metals.Throughout the book, Williams emphasizes the importance of careful observation and interpretation of microstructures in understanding the properties and behavior of metals. He also provides numerous examples and case studies to illustrate the principles and techniques discussed. ""Principles of Metallography"" remains a classic reference in the field of materials science and engineering, and is still widely used by students and researchers today. Its clear and concise presentation of fundamental concepts and techniques make it an essential resource for anyone interested in the study of metals and their microstructures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
