Bodycote, England, has produced an Interactive History of Metallurgy, a look back at the long history of metal processing and heat treatment. Containing over 200 high quality images and numerous videos, Bodycote pays homage to the artisans from thousands of years ago along with the scientists and inventors of more modern metallurgy and engineering.
Starting in 8700BC with the world’s oldest known copper artifacts, all the way through to the modern processes that Bodycote undertakes daily, the resource charts the development of metal working from the mystical and utilitarian requirements of early mankind, through to the scientific and technical breakthroughs of the 20th century.
Bodycote, the leader in an industry that dates back thousands of years, developed the interactive resource to explore the evolution of metallurgy and heat treating and to acknowledge the collective work of scientists and engineers. Their hard work and discoveries have enhanced the properties of metals and alloys, making them deliver safer, more durable results for more and more applications.
