Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History and Development of Stainless Steel and Stainless Iron The first practical application of the material discovered by Mr. Brearley was made in 1914 when he persuaded the Cutlery Manager of Messrs. R. F. Mosley of Sheffield, England, to work some of the steel up into knives. For reasons not entirely obvious no application for a British patent was made by Mr. Brearley, but in August, 1915, a patent was obtained in Canada (canadian patent No. And in September, 1916, a patent was obtained in the United States (u.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History of Stainless Steel provides a fascinating glimpse into a vital material that we may take for granted today. Stainless steel, called "the miracle metal" and "the crowning achievement of metallurgy" by the prominent metallurgist Carl Zapffe, is a material marvel with an equally fascinating history of people, places, and technology. As stainless steel nears the hundredth anniversary of its discovery, The History of Stainless Steel by Harold Cobb is a fitting perspective on a vital material of our modern life. Aptly called the miracle metal by the renowned metallurgist Carl Zapffe, stainless steel is not only a metallurgical marvel, but its history provides an equally fascinating story of curiosity, competitive persistence, and entrepreneurial spirit. The History of Stainless Steel is the world's first book that captures the unfolding excitement and innovations of stainless steel pioneers and entrepreneurs. Many new insights are given into the work of famous pioneers like Harry Brearley, Elwood Haynes, and Benno Strauss, including significant technical contributions of lesser known figures like William Krivsky. This fascinating history of stainless steel exemplifies the great push of progress in the 20th Century. From the stainless steel cutlery of Brearley in 1913, stainless steel burst on the modern scene in many tangible ways. Excerpted text by William Van Alen, architect of the Chrysler Building, describes the early architectural use of stainless steel. Another historic application of stainless steel is the revolution in rail travel by the Edward G. Budd Company, which built the first light-weight stainless steel passenger trains--with an astounding 90% reduction in fuel costs. This remains recognized today as one of the technological marvels of the modern world. Harold Cobb, a metallurgist who has spent much of his career in the stainless steel industry, uncovers many interesting stories and insights, including a special perspective on the prominent role of stainless steel in the activities of emerging technical societies such as the American Society for Metals and the American Society for Testing and Materials. Amply illustrated and with a 78-page timeline, this publication truly evokes the inspirations created by and from stainless steel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty Years of Iron and Steel To have been, during this period, an active factor in this constructive work, at all times taking a leading part in all of the industry's activities, makes the author of this paper a unique figure among American men of affairs - men who have done things. To have been an eye-witness of iron and steel development from the conversion of the first barrel of Lake Superior ore to a period when over sixty million tons come down the Lakes and other millions are smelted in the Upper Lake region, is something few have experienced. To have been connected with the pig iron industry when only six hundred thousand tons were made a year and be still connected with it when nearly forty million tons have been produced in this same period, is an honor that probably no one else can claim. And to have been in the industry contemporaneous with Sir Henry Bessemer, Andrew Carnegie, John Fritz, Edgar Thomson, and other great pioneers, and active long before the days of James M. Swank, E. H. Gary, Charles E. Schwab, James A. Farrell, Samuel Mather, W. L. Brown and other leaders of the present, and to be interested still in the steel production in a year when over forty-two million tons have been made, is something to talk about.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Iron and Steel in the Industrial Revolution This contribution to the history of the English Iron Industry is the product of the leisure, not of an historian, but of one engaged in teaching economic theory. The materials on which it is based were collected when I was on the staff first of the University of Sheffield, then of the University of Birmingham; but most of the actual writing has been done in Manchester. A generation ago writers on modern economic history found their principal quarry in blue-books, Parliamentary Journals, and other Government records. Hence arose not only an over-estimate of the part played by the State in economic development, but also, perhaps, an unduly gloomy View of former industrial society; for it -is the Pathology, rather than the Physiology, of social life that forms the subject of commissions of enquiry, of Home Office reports, and of parliamentary debates. Within the last few years a small group of scholars has attempted to re-write the economic history of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, using as a basis the surviving records of business undertakings. The University of Manchester already possesses the complete documents of four such concerns, and it is hoped that proprietors of long-established businesses will add to the collection. By so doing they will help to a truer View of the past, and therefore to a clearer understanding of the present. They need have no misgivings Concerning publicity. Houses that have stood the test of a century were not built, shamefully, on sand their foundations will bear scrutiny.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Iron and Steel Iron is the most important of all the metals that have been pressed into the service of man, which is due, not only to its great abundance in Nature, but also to its unique properties. The result of this is that no one metal has received so much attention from both practical men and scientists, as is shown by the fact that some of the most prominent men in Europe and America are investigating the many chemical and physical properties of the metal and its application to the requirements of civilisation. Thus an enormous mass of information has accumulated, and is to be found in original papers and books. Portions of the subject are still in their youth and are growing vigorously, so that the teacher of to-day must become the student of to-morrow. On the other hand, parts of it are so old that their origin is lost in the mists of time, and dates back to the first glimmerings of that intelligence which now enables man to utilise to the fullest extent the valuable properties of the metal.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The United States Steel Corporation: A Study of the Growth and Inﬂuence of Combination in the Iron and Steel Industry In certain particulars external to the mere manufacture of iron and steel, the industrial situation has been inﬂuenced by conditions similar to those contributing to the growth of other combinations. Intensity of competition, due partly to mal-adjustments between the number and size of competing producers and the strength and extent of the de mand for goods, have furthered the desire for consolidation. The protective tariff, too, by limiting the area of competi tion has encouraged producers to combine in the hope of securing control over certain branches of the trade in the home market. The geographical distribution of the sources of raw material, in so far as these sources are conveniently located for a single corporate or unified control, has helped to the same end.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History and Development of the Steel Industry: Thesis However, England was not destined to retain for any length of time her lead in iron production. A new and alarming condition now compelled England to give up her supremacy in the industry. Up to this time charcoal was the only fuel that had proved practical for refining iron. The magnitude of the industry in England had made great inroads in the timber supply and England was now threatened with a timber famine unless stringent measures were taken. In 1558 an act was passed prohibiting the cutting of timber for use in iron manufacture. Later, additional acts were passed until the iron industry in Kent, Sussex, and Surrey became extinct.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Manufacture and Properties of Iron and Steel I have compared at some length the condition of the industry in each separate country. These descriptions of the various dis tricts or provinces are not intended as complete investigations. It would be impossible for instance to describe the American districts so fully that every engineer and metallurgist of our country would find all the information he might wish, or even find a record of all that he already knows. It would also be impossible to tell an Eng lish engineer much about those parts of his own country with which he is acquainted. It may be possible, however, to give some facts for the benefit of travelers; to clear the way for a foreigner visit ing America, or an American visiting other lands. It 'is for this purpose only that these articles have been written and their end will be accomplished if they furnish certain fundamental facts on which to base such a journey. Some readers might prefer that less space should be devoted to theoretical matter and more to descriptions and drawings of fur naces and apparatus, but in my opinion the place for such informa tion is in the trade periodicals. It takes so long to print a book like this that the drawings are antiquated when the issue appears, and every year that it stands upon the shelf it becomes more and more a catalogue of discarded devices, while on the other hand the fundamental principles of metallurgy remain the same from year to year, and their value knows no depreciation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Iron and Steel: Their Sources, Varieties, Properties, and Manufacture, With Numerous Engravings and Diagrams Cementation is a process in which a metal is made to take up a solid element, by being heated with it. In the metallurgy of Iron the principal example Is the carburising of malleable-iron, and the production of steel, by the prolonged exposure of the iron at a temperature below fusion, to the action of solid carbon. A similar action may go on in the blast furnace where the freshly reduced iron is in contact with the carbon of the fuel. Cold-short expresses a condition of iron or other metal in which when it is worked by hammering or rolling at or below a dull red-heat the edges crack or fracture according to the degree of the cold-shortness; perhaps such metal may be worked with the utmost facility at a higher temperature. Small quantities of phosphorus, silicon, arsenic, and antimony induce cold-shortness in iron or steel, phosphorus being the most common cause of this defect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from German Iron and Steel Industry In the conversion of raw iron, that is, in making steel, the change has been even more momentous. In 1900, when Germany passed Great Britain, the figures of steel production were: United States Germany Great Britain metric tons. In 1907 the steel production of these three countries, com prising approximately 80 per cent of the world's total, stood: United States Germany and Great Britain metric tons. The periods of progressive growth during the last twenty-five years have not been uninterrupted. A partial paralysis was the penalty of the extraordinary activity of 1900, and the rapid expansion which followed the recovery from that depression culminated in 1907 to be succeeded by sharply curtailed demand, demoralized prices, and universal uncertainty in 1908. The year 1909 begins with little improvement, and the means by which the crisis is to be overcome will put German industrial and commercial conditions to a severe test. Yet in the light of past results the future is faced with confidence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
