4.0 out of 5 stars Good balance of theory and practical, 31 Oct 2008

By	Mr. A. Clark "Workshopshed" (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's not too clear in the title but this book is specifically about treating steel, it does cover other materials briefly.
I had a basic understanding heat treatments before this book but did not understand why the steel changed when you heated and cooled it. The book starts with a nice history of working iron into steel and the different types of steel. It follows with lots of scientific detail as to what is happening in the metal when it is treated. For people with no background in science this might be a little hard going. However, the science is balanced with lots of practical details of how to do all of the different heat treatment of steel and when not to attempt this. The book is clearly written with good digrams and images.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gem of a book, 6 Jul 2008

By	T. S. Ward "Large" (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Tubal Cain covers all that he states that he will cover: and he does it with ease. One caveat: current legislation would suggest that unless you have electrical qualifications then it is best not to try and build some of the electrical equipment proposed in the book. Tubal intimates that perhaps we have gone too far in that respect, but from my youth I can recall that employers had little regard for health and safety issues.

4.0 out of 5 stars Makes heat treatment a lot easier, 9 Mar 2009

By	S. Evans (Mid Wales) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book as i needed something to use in the workshop and that could fit in my tool box. The information within the book is very helpful and set out clearly. Also the picture and diagrams aid with the practical use of the book.
One thing though is that the book gets quite scientific in parts, this is not a criticism, although personally speaking i did not need it to get so in-depth. But i have learnt alittle more about metals and thier treatments.
So i would recommend it to anyone interested and beginning to work with metals. This will cover the basics of heat treatments very well and will also give some scientific background, to back up practical knowledge.

The book is a mine of information on the techniques, but is let down by use of imperial terminology and units. Read more
