The Principles of Metallographic Laboratory Practice

The new Metallurgy and Metallurgical -Engineering Series aims to provide for the practising metallurgical engineer, the research worker, and the student a series of authoritative books and texts on modern practice and on the scientific fundamentals in the field of metallurgy. Metallurgy has advanced enormously since the days when Henry Marion Hume's classic,, Metallography of Steel and Cast Iron, was published under the McGraw-Hill imprint. The great development and great extension of the field of metallurgy has taxed the engineer and the student, in part because of the dearth of standard books in which the fundamentals of practice and of science are treated in competent fashion. McGraw-Hill offers this new series as an aid to those engaged in the great task of adapting metals to the needs of society.
