The Growth Of Cast Iron At Moderately High Temperatures (1912) - Robert Crosier Williamson - Bog

The Growth of Cast Iron at Moderately High Temperatures is a scientific book written by Robert Crosier Williamson and published in 1912. The book focuses on the behavior of cast iron when subjected to high temperatures, specifically in the range of 200-500 degrees Celsius. Williamson's research is based on experiments he conducted on cast iron samples, which were heated and then allowed to cool. He observed that the cast iron samples grew in size when heated, and then shrank back to their original size after cooling. This growth phenomenon is explained in detail in the book, along with the factors that influence it, such as the composition of the cast iron, the rate of heating and cooling, and the presence of impurities.The book also discusses the practical implications of this growth phenomenon, particularly in the manufacturing of cast iron products. Williamson notes that the growth of cast iron can cause problems such as warping and cracking, which can affect the quality of the final product. He provides recommendations for minimizing these issues, such as controlling the rate of heating and cooling, and using high-quality cast iron with low levels of impurities.Overall, The Growth of Cast Iron at Moderately High Temperatures is a valuable resource for scientists, engineers, and manufacturers who work with cast iron. It provides a detailed understanding of the behavior of cast iron at high temperatures and offers practical advice for minimizing the negative effects of growth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
