Abstract
THIS important work on the metallurgy of iron and steel has been enriched, in its second edition, to the extent of some forty-six pages of new matter, including thirty-nine fine reproductions of micro-structures. The chapter on “The Heat Treatment of Cast Iron” has been divided so that the annealing of grey cast iron is treated separately. The new matter includes Prof. Carpenter's valuable contribution on “The Effect of Working Temperatures on Parts of Internal-combustion Engines,” the author's report to the Ministry of Munitions on “The Present Position of the Malleable Casting Industry in this Country”—an illogical but welcome inclusion. “The Influence of Sulphur in the Presence of Silicon” (chap, xv.), and “The Limits of Phosphorus in Malleable Castings” (chap. xvi.).

By Dr. W. H. Hatfield. Second edition, revised and enlarged. Pp. xvii + 292. (London: Charles Griffin and Co., Ltd., 1918.) Price 12s. 6d. net.
