Handbook for Ironmongers: A Glossary
of Ferrous Metallurgy Terms: A Voyage
through the Labyrinth of Steel and Toolmaking
Strategies and Techniques 2000 BC to 1950
208 pages, 8 x 10 (Softcover)
A Glossary of Ferrous Metallurgy Terms defines
hundreds of items of interest to blacksmiths,
historians, and anyone seeking knowledge of
steel and toolmaking and its history. Topics range from ancient
metallurgical techniques to later developments in iron and steel
production in America and modern machines and the biomass-derived
consumer products and toxic waste that they produce. While it stands
alone as an important resource, the Glossary is also an invaluable
component of the Davistown Museum Tools in History series, which
surveys the history of steel- and toolmaking and relates it to New
England shipsmiths and edge toolmakers. Information included on
nanotechnology and nanophase metals and the fact that it has now
been proven that the famous “Damascus Steel” received its legendary
cutting power from the inclusion of molecular fullerene nanotube and
buckyball structures wrapped into the iron matrix.
