Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aluminum and Its Alloys: Their Properties, Thermal Treatment and Industrial Application In this translation of Col. Grard's book on "Aluminium and its Alloys," the original text has been adhered to, with the exception of certain of the appendices. Certain of the conditions of the French aeronautical specifications, dealing with sampling and identification of material, have not been considered of sufficient interest to English readers to warrant their inclusion, but the clauses dealing with methods and results of tests have been given. The centigrade scale of temperatures has been retained throughout the book. In statistics of a general nature - as, for instance, in the case of approximate output - the tonne and ton have been regarded as equivalent. In exact statistics, however, an accurate conversion has been made, and both sets of values given. Where prices are given, the rate of exchange has been taken as twenty-five francs to the pound sterling, whatever the date of the statistics in question. The Tensile Strength and Elastic Limit are expressed in kilogrammes per square millimetre and in tons per square inch - at the express wish of the author, both sets of values are given throughout the book, in the tables and diagrams. In the case of Hardness and Cupping Tests, no conversion has been attempted, the metrical values being in general use in this country. As regards Shock Resistance also, no conversion has been attempted. On the Continent the term "Resilience" is employed to denote the energy absorbed in impact, expressed in kilogramme-metres per square centimetre of cross section of the test piece at the bottom of the notch, whilst in this country, it is employed to denote a different property.
