This is a rather unique, old, industrial, scientific book. The book was published in 1960 by Reinhold Publishing Corporation, New York and Chapman & Hall, Ltd., London. The book measures 6 ¼ inches by 9 ¼ inches and contains vi, 239 pages. The orange cloth cover has the title in gilt on the spine. The cover shows signs of wear to the edges, corners (worn to boards) and to the top and bottom of the spine (a bit frayed). The spine is tight and the hinges are strong. The signature of a pervious owner is inscribed on the inside front cover. The pages are printed on good quality paper and show no signs of rips. Exceptions noted, the overall condition of this old book is good plus but not quite very good.

Excerpt - Introduction:
History is marked with outstanding attempts to find, develop or manufacture a nearly perfect material for a certain application. Notable among such attempts is one to satisfy the need for a material which incorporates most of the desirable characteristics of both ceramics and metals. Although there is considerable literature on this broad subject recorded by European investigators, it is not part of the undertaking of this book to describe this work.

During and just after World War II, the need for high temperature, high stress-resistant material became very clear in the United States. German materials scientists, during World War II, had developed oxide base cermets as a substitute for critical alloys. These new materials appeared very promising for application in the high-temperature sections of the new jet engines and development programs were initiated…
