Summary: Tungstenopliles, look no further
Review: After groveling and scraping for every little tungsten factoid I could find, this book was more welcome than a healed disciple at an evangelical fund raiser. What EXACTLY is ferrotungsten? Got it (including some typical chemistries). Lightbulb filaments? Finally a full story. >>Basically one heck of a lot of info on my favorite element.<< Omissions? Tungsten in fluorescent lamps is barely mentioned. Radiation shielding details not found. Direct carburizing recipies mentioned but details left to REFERENCES. Thank you, thank you for the references!
