A metallurgist who had worked in the laboratories and rolling mills of a large American steel company explains his industry for readers with no technical background. He begins with the early history of iron, then takes the ore, coke and limestone through the blast furnace, wrought-iron puddling, steelmaking, moulding and casting, and on to the products of modern industry.
