Metals In Aircraft Construction PDF Download

Excerpt from Metals in Aircraft Construction The scientist in his laboratory is apt to develop the physical properties Of steel from an almost purely theoretical point Of view, Often ignoring the practical difficulties which confront the indus trialist in his workshop. On the other hand, many users Of steel, because Of their inability to utilize the scientific data already available, do not profit, to the full extent, from the researches of the scientist. Although the steelmaker, working from well-known facts and a large accumulation Of scientific data, can, with certainty, con trol the chemical composition of his material, the matter of heat treatment still remains Obscure in many particulars. But enough is already known about the influence Of temperature and the method Of its application, both in the processes Of manufacture and on the finished products, to show the importance of this aspect of the subject.
