Synopsis

This book presents an overview of the historical significance, present state of knowledge, and future potential of tungsten ores. The author provides an overview of the mines, extraction techniques, and uses for tungsten, with particular attention to the British Empire. Originally published in 1919, this book is remarkable in how thoroughly it details the global tungsten trade as it stood over a century ago, particularly in the British Empire, which then controlled much of the world's tungsten output. The author also provides valuable information about the geology of the various tungsten-producing localities, as well as the methods of mining and concentrating the ores. The author offers an overview of the metallurgy of tungsten, the valuation and price of tungsten ores, and the utilization of tungsten in the production of high-speed steel, cutting tools, and electrical components.
