The Science of Solid Materials

SUBTITLED : `Notes on .' The foreword to this 187 - INDEX at the back - page volume notes that these notes are general in nature and apply to the largely inexperienced younger engineer (student). READ more about : impact stresses, tension stress, tri-axial tension stress, maximum shearing stress, brittleness, deformation, cast iron, annealed electrolytic copper, fatigue, corrosion effects, and Swiss Sandstone prisms. Text assisted by graphical data and b/w photo graphs. Cond : Yellowy-gold paper wrapper with brown spine band anf titling similar. No cover graphics. Tight in binding. Light general wear and soil. Name of p/o (1945) on first page. QUote (p. 93) : " Figure 3.6 is a photomicrograph of grey hypo-eutectic cast-iron. The metal was not etched and therefore does not show the grains of the iron but only the particles of graphite. These particles are structurally weak and break up the continuity of the polycrystal. The tensile strength ._._._. . ".
