It is quite the book. It’s equivalent of Armstrong’s book on modeling realistic railroads for the steel mill industry.

There are a number of other books that cover steel and the various processes for making it over the years. “The Making, Shaping, and Treating of Steel.” is one There are 13->15 different printing versions of this book that are updated to reflect changes in the steel processes used at that time.
