Metallurgy history

Technological History. In the history of technology, the developments of metallurgy probably provide the most compHcated and important chapter. Although new archaeological evidence continually necessitates changes in accepted hypotheses regarding the developments in the use of metals in... 

In the three decades following the publication of Rosenhain s book, the physieal science of metals and alloys developed rapidly, so that by 1948 it was possible for Robert Franklin Mehl (1898-1976) (see Smith 1990, Smith and Mullins 2001 and Figure 3.15), a doyen of American physical metallurgy, to bring out a book entitled A Brief History of the Science of Metals (Mehl 1948), which he then updated in the...

The history and chemistry of the hydroxy-oxime extractants which were originally developed for Cu recovery has been extensively reviewed.11,13,14 Szymanowski s book14 provides comprehensive cover of the literature prior to 1993 and assigns chemical structures to reagents which in most metallurgy texts are referred to only by codes provided by reagent suppliers. An updated version of this information is provided in Table 3. 

This book examines comprehensively the chlorine industry and its effects on the environment. It covers not only the history of chlorine production, but also looks at its products, their effects on the global environment and the international legislation which controls their use, release and disposal. Individual chapters are dedicated to subjects such as end use processes, water disinfection and metallurgy, environmental release of organic chlorine compounds, polychlorinated biphenyls, legal instruments and the future of the chlorine industry. 

Intermetallic science has a long and interesting history. Several interrelated topics can be considered within this subject, both from a basic viewpoint and with a view to their potential for future applications. These topics are closely connected with, or even part of, other disciplines such as physics, chemistry, metallurgy, materials science and technology, engineering.
