Excerpt from Structure and Related Properties of Metals All tests 'of metals are for the general purpose of determining the suitability of the material for some specific use; the mechanical properties are therefore in many cases the ultimate criteria. As in the case of chemical analysis the metallographic examination can be made of inestimable service in mechanical testing. The selection of specimens may determine absolutely the validity of any conclusions drawn from tests. Not only may the small test specimens be properly taken so as to represent the larger mass of metal, but the results obtained in the test may be most properly interpreted in terms of the structure of the material, and for purposes of comparison it is necessary that the materials be in the same structural condition. In the following discussion these features are treated more fully. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
