Publisher's Synopsis
Microscopic Analysis of Metals is a book written by Osmond and Floris in 1904. The book is a comprehensive guide to the study of metals using microscopic techniques. It covers the various methods of preparation of metal specimens for microscopic examination, including polishing, etching, and staining. The authors also explain the principles of microscopy and the use of various microscopes in metal analysis.The book describes in detail the microstructure of various metals, including iron, steel, copper, and aluminum. It explains the various phases and constituents that can be observed in these metals and their significance in terms of mechanical properties and behavior.The authors also discuss the use of microscopy in the study of metal fractures and the identification of failure mechanisms. They provide numerous examples of metal fractures and explain how to interpret the features observed in the microscope.Microscopic Analysis of Metals is an essential reference for metallurgists, materials scientists, and anyone involved in the study of metals. It provides a wealth of information on the techniques and principles of metal analysis and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the properties and behavior of metals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
