De Metallica Perita (on Practical Metallurgy)

by Quentin R. Skrabec

Overview

Metallurgy and metallurgical engineering have defined man, the toolmaker, from the earliest days of civilization. This book focuses on the science of metallurgy for the craftsman, trades, beginning engineer, engineer-in-training, hobbyist, blacksmith, and technician. It is written as much to inspire as to educate. Written for the non-engineer, it takes the reader into science of metallurgy to form a foundation in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It teaches from the shop floor versus the academic classroom, yet it does not overlook the fundamental scientific principles. It is a college level text that is full of practical applications, and it assumes not previous knowledge.
