Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Liquid Steel Its Manufacture and Cost
It is generally accepted that where metallurgical and engineering research does not aim at improving the quality and reducing the cost of steel products, its business interest to the manufacturer is of little moment.
Several standard works on the metallurgy of steel, to which reference has been made in the following pages, deal in some measure with the cost of steel manufacture, but so far as I am aware no previous attempt has been made to compare systematically the costs of all the steel-making processes, having in view their metallurgical and engineering significance. It is my belief, as the outcome of several years' experience in the construction and management of modern steel works, that the facts given herein will be welcomed by steel manufacturers, managers, engineers, metallurgists, chemists, draughtsmen, and all others who are interested in the efficient equipment and control of steel works.
