Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique view of Australia and New Zealand over 200 years utilizing the vehicle of bladeware from the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788 until the Bicentennial Celebration in 1988. Under the direct governance of the British Empire for 113 of those years prior to Federation in 1901, the far-flung Australian colony and its dominion neighbour endured a myriad of difficulties in providing edged tools for the advancement of the oft-times struggling settlements.The tyrannies of distance associated with transporting all manner of merchandise - plus convicts - in sailing ships from Mother England to the antipodes, some 12,000 miles away, meant suppliers struggled to meet the demands of day to day colonial requirements. Necessity being the mother of invention, innovative artisans embarked upon forge-producing whatever they could from blade-steel shipped from Sheffield, the world's acknowledged steel and cutlery manufacturing centre.Fortuitously, many of the free settlers and convicts were 'Sheffieldians' who set about plying their cutling skills to fill the bladeware void in a burgeoning colony. A combination of colonial-made and imported edge-ware enabled the expanding settlements to steadily progress; hence the English-Australian cutlery connection which prevails to this day. The fluctuations of mercantile fortunes concerning Australian and Zealandian blade manufacturing were influenced by the economic peaks and pits of a fledgling colony and dominion striving to push the parameters. Boom times included the discovery of gold and bust times were precipitated by the collapse of banks and depressions. Financial viability hung like an ominous cloud; survival was ever the order of the day. After 1901, Federation heralded in new ways of doing things and stimulated an urge for self sufficiency and the two world wars generated a huge demand for Australian and New Zealand made bladeware. By the mid 1970's, however, Australian knife manufacturing had faded from existence, but not so in New Zealand. This history book details the rise and fall of all aspects of cutlery culture and manufacture in the British-settled antipodes, Australia and New Zealand, 1788 - 1988.

Book Synopsis The History of Stainless Steel by : Harold M. Cobb
Download or read book The History of Stainless Steel written by Harold M. Cobb and published by ASM International. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 375 pages. 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.
