About Hardening, Tempering, Annealing And Forging Of
In preparing this treatise the author has had as an incitement the knowledge that there was very little information to be had on the treatment and working of steel of practical value to the general mechanic. For this reason he is convinced that a practical book on the treatment and working of the metal as modern demands necessitate, that is, in regard to heating, annealing, forging, hardening and tempering processes, cannot fail to prove of interest and value to all mechanics who use tools or who are in any way engaged in the working of metals. When the fact is considered that tools made from the best grades of steel will not perform the work required unless they have been treated properly during the various heating processes, the value of a knowledge of the most satisfactory and approved arrangements and methods to the mechanic is at once apparent. With the object in view of giving to practical men a book treating and presenting this paramount subject in a clear, concise and practical manner, the author has drawn upon a personal experience of many years, gathered all the information obtainable, eliminating all unnecessary and obsolete matter, and added all that is approved, up-to-date and authentic. In regard to originality we lay claim to very little, for, although the facts contained in a large number of the items have been gained through years of experience at the forge, bench and machine, we are indebted to others for a greater portion, and merely claim to have, as a great poet has said, gathered the fruits of other mens labors and bound them with our own string.
