Forging - Manual of Practical Instruction in Hand Forging of Wrought Iron, Machine Steel and Tool Steel; Drop Forging; and Heat Treatment of Steel, Including Annealing, Hardening and Tempering

First published in 1919, Jernberg covers the hand forging of wrought iron, machine steel, and tool steel before turning to drop forging and the annealing, hardening, and tempering of steel. Chapters take in forging materials, heating apparatus, hammers, sledges, anvils, tongs, and swages, alongside the heavier equipment of the industrial forge – drop hammers, power hammers, presses, bulldozers, bolt headers, and cranes – as well as smith welding and much more.

Clear and concise, Forging will be of considerable value to the trained professional and the layman alike, offering a sound grounding in the fundamentals of the craft.
