The Manufacture Of Steel: Containing The Practice And Principles Of Working And Making Steel by Frederick Verman. This 19th-century handbook provides a comprehensive survey of steel manufacture and the craft practices surrounding forging, heating, and finishing steel. It opens with fundamentals of heat, forge design, tuyères and blast, and the forge-fire, then moves through the working of tools, fluxes, welding, and the treatment of blistered, shear, cast, and Damascus steels. It presents methods for producing natural steel, including Wootz, the German process, puddling, cementation, and modern refinements such as the Martin and Bessemer processes. The volume details the equipment used by smiths and manufacturers, from forges and anvils to hammers, boxes and crucibles, as well as processes for hardening, tempering, annealing, and case-hardening, with discussion of the colors of temper and the practicalities of steel inspection. It also offers commentary on the American and English state of the art, the ore required, fuel considerations, and economic aspects of steel production, intended for blacksmiths, wagon-makers, die-sinkers, cutlers, and men of science and art.
