Overview

Excerpt from Metallurgy: Instruction Paper For centuries iron has been the most useful metal known to man. In the earliest periods of history, stone implements were used; later bronze, an alloy of Copper and tin, replaced stone. After a time men found a way to extract iron from its ores, and the Iron Age began. As nothing has yet been discovered, or invented, to take the place of iron in the arts, the Iron Age has continued until the present day. The process of separating, or extracting iron from its ores; of smelting and refining it; and of making it into its most useful form, steel, is called the metallurgy of iron. From small beginnings, this art has gradually increased to its present importance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
