Excerpt from The Production of Malleable Castings: A Practical Treatise on the Processes Involved in the Manufacture of Malleable Cast Iron As the result of our investigations along scientific lines, practically applied, we know today that by giving proper heat treatment to cast ings of a composition between definite limits, they will invariably be malleablized. It is the author's purpose in this book to describe and discuss every stage of the manufacture of malleable castings, and to attempt the explanation of some of the mysteries that once baffled every attempt at correction until heavy losses had resulted.
