Abstract
DURING the five years which have elapsed since the publication of the first edition of this work, the metallurgy of the stainless steels has developed very rapidly. Much research, in which Great Britain has taken its full share, has been carried out upon their metallography and properties. As a result many new types of stainless steels with much higher contents of chromium, with or without nickel, copper, tungsten, etc., have been developed. In order to deal with these newer materials, the present edition has been almost completely rewritten and more than doubled in size. It is a book of first-class merit, prepared by one who is perhaps the foremost authority in this particular field.
