Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed analysis of the injurious effects that can occur when steel and iron are subjected to a heat range known as 'blue heat', a temperature just below the point at which the metal glows red-hot. The author explains that exposure to this specific temperature range can cause the metal to lose much of its strength and ductility, making it prone to sudden and unexpected failure. Through a series of experiments, the author demonstrates how this phenomenon can affect the reliability of steel and iron in various applications, such as shipbuilding and the construction of boilers and machinery. The book serves as a valuable resource for engineers and metallurgists seeking to understand the behavior of these vital materials and to avoid potential failures in critical applications.
