Abstract
MR. TUNGAY deals with various types of acid-resisting metals, such as silicon-irons, lead and regulus metal, aluminium, stainless steels, monel metal, cast iron and steels, nickel and chromium alloys, copper and copper alloys, in an interesting way, and has succeeded in giving a large amount of useful information in small compass. The use of acid-resisting metals has changed many aspects of chemical engineering practice and holds out prospects of further applications. The information in the book, when it is not directly based on the author's own experience, is carefully compiled from good authorities, and the result is that one can rely on the correctness of the statements. The book can be warmly recommended.
