The history of hardening
How could heat treatment develop from its initial inaccessibility into a significant branch of industry. This question leads to the roots, but also helps to determine the current state of the art. It will be traced using the example of hardening from ancient times to the present day. Härterei Gerster AG, the publisher of this book, was able to enlist the services of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hans Berns (1935-2013), who spent half of his professional life in the steel industry and half at the Ruhr University in Bochum.
You can obtain this interesting book by the Adolf Martens Medal winner from the AWT office at a price of € 29 (+ VAT and shipping costs).
