Abstract
THE English translation from the German edition of this work appeared more than two years ago, and was reviewed in NATURE, vol. lxxviii (1908), p. 387. The present book, however, is not identical with any previous issue. It is a careful revision by F. Robin, and is in advance of its predecessors in several respects. The arrangement is somewhat more logical, the description of the measurement of temperature by thermocouples being followed at once by a section devoted to the methods employed in studying the microscopic structure of metals, and the remainder of the book is occupied by an account of the constitution of alloys, illustrated by a very large number of examples. The iron-carbon alloys are dealt with in detail in a separate section. The most important additions of new matter are descriptions of many series of binary alloys, which have been studied during the last three or four years, and a large number of beautiful reproductions of photomicrographs of the structure of metals.
