Creative work in the studio can benefit from an understanding of materials and processes, but too often the worlds of science and art are unable to share information. This book bridges the gap through clear language spoken by a metallurgist with several decades of teaching experience. Through hundreds of charts, tables, and graphs, the author explains the intricacies of work-hardening, annealing, and alloying. This is a serious book for people who understand the value of technical information. By precious metals we of course mean gold, silver and the platinum group metals like palladium. There of course precious metal alloys as well that consist of precious metals as the above mentioned; processing them is a science in itself.
