which is likely to be of the greatest interest to the investigator since it describes in detail how to make an alloy. The authors describe melting and heat treating furnaces, procedures, gases in metals, protective atmospheres, casting techniques, quenching techniques, etc.

The authors discuss rolling, swaging, wire drawing, and extrusion in enough detail to enable one to choose the proper method to satisfy his needs.
