Steel Castings
John H. HallAbstract
This paper deals briefly with the physical properties of steel castings and their improvement through annealing and heat treatment, cost of castings, and the classes of work for which steel castings should be specified. Castings are now made, it is stated, with physical properties nearly twice as good as those of the ordinary commercial product, and where the service demands unusual strength, toughness and resistance to wear and fatigue, their use is urged even though they machine somewhat less freely.
