The Elements of Metallography is a comprehensive book on the study of metallic materials and their microstructure. The book was written by Rudolf Ruer and was first published in 1909. The book covers the basic principles of metallography, including the preparation and examination of metal samples, the structure of metals and alloys, and the various techniques used to study their microstructure. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of metallography. The first chapter provides an introduction to the subject, while the second chapter covers the preparation of metal samples. This includes the various techniques used to cut, grind, and polish metal samples for examination under a microscope. The third chapter covers the structure of metals and alloys, including the various crystal structures that can be found in metallic materials. The fourth chapter covers the various techniques used to study the microstructure of metals, including optical microscopy, electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The fifth chapter covers the various types of defects that can be found in metallic materials, including dislocations, grain boundaries, and voids. The sixth chapter covers the mechanical properties of metals and how they are affected by their microstructure. Overall, The Elements of Metallography is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of metallic materials and their microstructure. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the subject and is written in a clear and concise style that is easy to understand.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
