ausfire Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Clearing out some old books at the historic village where I work and came across this old 1955 edition of "Wrought Steels - Bars, Billets and Forgings". It has loads of information about the chemical analysis, composition and applications of various steels. A British publication.I was going to bin it but thought it may be of use to someone somewhere who's interested in such highly technical stuff. Would be happy to mail it to anyone who wants it. Any use or in the bin?Here's a pic: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Budd Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Balls, you beat me to it! Sounds like an interesting publication that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastRonin Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Any other metal related books? Shoot, ANY other books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Cochran Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 It's probably a good read for people like me who are still learning and a good reference for those who know it all lol.i too like old books so if you find anymore please let us know, surely someone might find use for them.

arkie Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Wow, the time difference caught me...I would have loved to have had that book. Great catch, Glenn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan P. Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I too am interested in the contents of that book. Ordering copies from BSI is crazy expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 No worries, Glenn, I'll send you the book on Monday. I wasn't sure if it was of use, but glad I didn't throw it out now. We have ditched literally hundreds of books, as we need the storage room for new acquisitions. As a teacher, I feel great pain throwing away books, but I just have to bite the bullet.I have kept most books of historical value - lots of old car manuals, agricultural mail order catalogues, 1920's motoring magazines, Dyke's encyclopaedias and related motor mechanic stuff, steam engine manuals, tractor manuals (we specialise in the old 2 cyl John Deeres) - that sort of thing.But yes, I will post here anything that may be of interest to the metal trades that we can't use.

Michael Cochran Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Sounds like quite the collection you have. If you decide to get rid of some of what you listed shoot me a pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Ausfire, your book arrived Saturday PM in good condition. THANK YOU.Reading will go quickly but understanding what I read will certainly take some time. (grin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANK YOU.Reading will go quickly but understanding what I read will certainly take some time. (grin)No worries. As I said - very technical.I really don't care what percentage of antimony is in my steel or what temperature to quench steel #xyz in oil. Happy reading!
