This reference documents ferrous alloy development as presented in Alloy Digest since 1952. Its concise data sheet summaries (which run about two pages) provide material composition, properties, heat treatment, fabrication characteristics, product forms, and applications. Following a general overvie

ASM Specialty Handbook® Stainless Steels The best single-volume reference on the metallurgy, selection, processing, performance, and evaluation of stainless steels, incorporating essential information culled from across the ASM Handbook series. Includes additional data and reference information carefully selected and adapted from other authoritative ASM sources.

One of two self-contained volumes belonging to the newly revised Steel Heat Treatment Handbook, Second Edition, this book examines the behavior and processes involved in modern steel heat treatment applications. Steel Heat Treatment: Metallurgy and Technologies presents the principles that form the basis of heat treatment processes while incorporating detailed descriptions of advances emerging since the 1997 publication of the first edition. Revised, updated, and expanded, this book ensures up-to-date and thorough discussions of how specific heat treatment processes and different alloy elements affect the structure and the classification and mechanisms of steel transformation, distortion of properties of steel alloys. The book includes entirely new chapters on heat-treated components, and the treatment of tool steels, stainless steels, and powder metallurgy steel components. Steel Heat Treatment: Metallurgy and Technologies provides a focused resource for everyday use by advanced students and practitioners in metallurgy, process design, heat treatment, and mechanical and materials engineering.

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS). The aim of this special collection of papers on the theme of “Advanced Welding and Micro Joining/Packaging for the 21st Century” was to review and analyze the state-of-the-art concerning the welding and joining/packaging technologies which are essential to the production of structures ranging from the compact to the ultra-large.

Provides a methodology for integrating materials selection with the design process, including simultaneous technical and economic evaluation. Save hours of frustrating research time: Get fast answers about the best material for a particular application. In the past, researching the endless sources on corrosion and materials in their countless applications were next to impossible. That's why this book was written: to help simplify your materials selection problems. It's an exhaustive source on the different corrosion-resistant materials, types of corrosion, factors affecting corrosion, passivation, corrosion monitoring, corrosion control measures, methodology of materials selection, and more.

This report presents information on the physical metallurgy, chemical composition, mechanical and physical properties, corrosion resistance, fabrication, and cleaning of several of the newer high-strength stainless steels. The alloys covered include one semiaustenitic precipitation-hardenable stainless steel, PH14-8Mo, and the following martensitic precipitation- hardenable stainless steels: PH13-8Mo, 15-5PH, Custom 455, AM-363, AM-362, and AFC-77. Also included is 17-4PH as a sheet and strip product.
