D. M. Lester said A must for knifemakers. Consider this the Cliff Notes of steel metalurgy. It is an invaluable resource for those of us who make knives and other cutting tools. Forging and grinding a great looking knife with good geometry isn't even half of the story; manipulating the crystalin structure of the steel with heat is at least 75% of it. Steel sellection counts somewhat less. This book gives a good "in depth overview" of what steel and other ferrous alloys are, what their properties are, and how those properties can be used and manipulated. It gives an understanding of wha. Non-Metallurgist's Bible If you want to make knives, swords, or other hardened-steel items, and are not a metallurgist, THIS is your text! I still learn things even after multiple readings.. Get it. J. Hobson This book was originally free on the web. Some coloured diagrams and additional information have been added to the paper version.It is dense. You have to maintain concentration not to miss something or alternatively read it several times. Everything is well explained though - so there are no pre-requisites required before you can understand.The occasional diagram may be labelled wrong - an extra challenge to make sure you are concentrating. Lots of diagrams, but often not on the same page as the text.There is a subtle bias towards knife makers
This book is THE practicle primer on steel metallurgy for those who heat, forge, or machine steel.. It starts from simple concepts_beginning at the level of high-school chemisty classes_and building to more complex concepts involved in heat treatment of most all types of steel as well as cast iron. This book explains the metallurgy of steel and its heat treatment for non-metallurgists
