Book excerpt: Excerpt from Metallography The study of metallic alloys by physical and miscroscopical methods has reached so great a development in recent years as to form a distinct branch of physical chemistry. In the following pages I have sought to present an account of the methods employed in this branch of study, and of the conclusions which have been reached, and also to indicate the directions in which further research is needed. The attempt has been made to discriminate, in the literature of the subject, between investigations performed with the requisite care and thoroughness, and those which, from the use of impure materials in preparing the alloys, the examination of insufficiently large quantities, or other causes, fail to reach the standard of accuracy required in physico-chemical work. The abbreviations employed in the footnotes are, in most cases, those adopted by the Chemical Society, and the remainder will, it is hoped, be self-explanatory. References to Russian periodicals are only given if the investigation has not been published in full in another language. The whole of the photo-micrographs have been prepared in the Metallurgical Laboratory of the University of Glasgow.
