BOOK REVIEW
METALLURGICAL THERMOCHEMISTRY,
2nd Edition, by O. Kubaschewski and
E. LI_ Evans. Published by John
Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York,
Pergamon Press, Ltd., London, 1956.
xiv + 410 pages, $10.00.
The second edition of this monograph
is welcome since it reflects an increasing
interest in the application of chemicM
thermodynamics to metallurgical sys-
tems. The authors have made a con-
siderable revision in the text. The ex-
tensive tables of thermochemical data of
metal compounds have been brought up
to date. Critical assessments of the data
Vol. 10~, No. 1
have been made by three groups of
workers in the United States and
England. The inclusion of new data
from laboratories in the United States is
particularly welcome. This has added
much to the value of the book as a
reference source.
The first chapter of tile book, dealing
with the theoretical basis of chemical
thermodynamics, has been revised. No
attempt is made to derive the various
thermodynainic functions since it is
assumed the reader is acquainted with
the elements of chemical thermody-
namics. Two new sections on nonregular
solutions and slag metal equilibria have
been added.
The chapter on experimental methods
is largely unchanged, although a few new
devices arc mentioned. Some alterations
have been made to the chapter on the
estimation of thermochemical data.
The book has been written for two
classes of metallurgical chemists: the
process metallurgist who wishes to solve
practical problems and the research
worker who is engaged in obtaining
fundamental infornmtion by laboratory
experiments.
The tables of thermodynanfic data
could be still more useful if the authors
would compile tables of T, T -x, T ~, log
T, and T log T to be used for calculating
the free energy, heat capacity, and vapor
pressure as a function of temperature.
The new edition is a very valuable
source book for all metallurgists and
electrochemists interested in thermo-
chemistry of metals, alloys, and the
metallic compounds, including oxides,
nitrides, carbides, and halides.
