Synopsis
Iron, in one or more of its several forms, has been used for about four thousand years, it was essential to the industrial revolution and it is still the principal metal of commerce. At first, and for centuries, ironmaking was a manual craft, the quantities were small and the metal was scarce. Then in the fifteenth century, means were devised for making iron on a larger scale and ironmaking began to develop into an industry. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries technology and the scale of production developed rapidly and new types of iron were introduced. One of these, steel, eventually took over.About the authorThe late W. V. K. Gale spent most of his working life in the iron and steel industry. He was a fellow of the Royal Historical Society, a past president of the Newcomen Society, the Staffordshire Iron and Steel Institute and the Historical Metallurgy Society and a member of the Institute of Materials. He was a technical adviser on iron and steel history to the Ironbridge Gorge and Black Country museums.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Iron has been used for about 4000 years; it was essential to the industrial revolution and is still the principal metal of commerce. For centuries ironmaking was a manual craft, but with the invention of the blast furnace in the fifteenth century it became possible to produce iron on a large scale. Further technological developments in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries meant that the scale of production developed rapidly and that new types of iron were introduced; one of these, steel, has largely superseded other forms. This book describes how iron and steel have been made from earliest times to the 20th century, and includes a gazetteer of ironworking sites and other places of interest. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR003940358
