Excerpt from Metallography: An Introduction to the Study of the Structure of Metals The demand for practical instruction in all branches of a subject in our Technical Schools is increasing, and the introduction of experimental work is so moulding the character of the teaching, that the teacher must keep himself conversant with the new developments that are constantly arising in consequence of the progress of scientific knowledge. In accordance with these views the author has made a special study of the intimate structure of metals during the last few years, and found great pleasure in following the researches of those who may be rightly termed the pioneers in metallography, such as Sorby, Martens, Osmond, Stead, Roberts-Austen, Arnold, Andrews, and several others, whose patient and laborious efforts have brought to light such a precious fund of knowledge that many of the hitherto unsolved problems have now received a satisfactory explanation. As far as the author is aware of, no book on the subject has before been published in the English language; and as metallography is yet in its infancy, it is not sufficiently developed to permit of its being placed on a strictly logical scientific basis. This is therefore only an attempt to lay the principles of the subject before students and workers who are interested in the properties and applications of metals, and to offer a series of original illustrations which it is hoped will assist in making the meaning clearer.

This early work on the structure of metals is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. Its 579 pages contain a wealth of information on the physical properties and chemistry of various metals. This is a fascinating work and is thoroughly recommended for students of metallurgy. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Excerpt from Metallography The study of metallic alloys by physical and miscroscopical methods has reached so great a development in recent years as to form a distinct branch of physical chemistry. In the following pages I have sought to present an account of the methods employed in this branch of study, and of the conclusions which have been reached, and also to indicate the directions in which further research is needed. The attempt has been made to discriminate, in the literature of the subject, between investigations performed with the requisite care and thoroughness, and those which, from the use of impure materials in preparing the alloys, the examination of insufficiently large quantities, or other causes, fail to reach the standard of accuracy required in physico-chemical work. The abbreviations employed in the footnotes are, in most cases, those adopted by the Chemical Society, and the remainder will, it is hoped, be self-explanatory. References to Russian periodicals are only given if the investigation has not been published in full in another language. The whole of the photo-micrographs have been prepared in the Metallurgical Laboratory of the University of Glasgow.

Atomic Structure and the Strength of Metals is a collection of prepared lectures presented at the 1956 Page-Barbour Lectures before the University of Virginia. These lectures are based in part on two lectures given in the University of Cambridge as part of a course designed to present some of the ideas of physics to students of the humanities. The first lecture explores the physics of metals, with a particular emphasis on the properties of metals and their relationship with the properties of atoms. The second lecture describes the behavior of the atoms in a piece of metal when it is bent or pulled out. This lecture highlights the strength of solid, which involves the study of the defects in the crystalline structure. The third lecture discusses the concept and experimental evidence of material dislocation. This lecture provides a model of a polycrystalline metal, in which boundaries between grains appear. This book is directed toward physics students and nonspecialists.
