Iron Books
This volume covers standard designations from worldwide standards for cast irons and steels, wrought carbon and alloy steels, stainless steels, high strength steels, and tool steels. Entries are provided for more than 30,000 alloy designations. Well over 5000 entries have been updated, and more than 3000 are brand new additions.
The completely revised Second Edition of Metallurgy for the Non-Metallurgist provides a solid understanding of the basic principles and current practices of metallurgy. The new edition has been extensively updated with broader coverage of topics, new and improved illustrations, and more explanation of basic concepts. It is a “must-have” ready reference on metallurgy!
Cast iron offers the design engineer a low-cost, high-strength material that can be easily cast into a wide variety of useful, and sometimes complex, shapes. This handbook from ASM covers the entire spectrum of one of the most widely used and versatile of all metals. You'll find basic information on metallurgy, solidification characteristics, and properties. Extensive reviews are presented on the low-alloy gray, ductile, compacted graphite, and malleable irons.
This edition is a complete revision and contains a great deal of new subject matter including information on ferrous powder metallurgy, cast irons, ultra high strength steels, furnace atmospheres, quenching processes, SPC and computer technology. Data on over 135 additional irons and steels have been added to the previously-covered 280 alloys.
The "best" of the ASM Handbook in a single volume -- if you only own one book on metals and their alloys, this is it The definitive Desk Edition -- a complete revision of ASM's perennial best seller, packed with new and updated information Highly practical (avoids theoretical content), assumes minimal prior knowledge
The work of more than 80 authors and 120 peer reviewers. Sections include: Cast Irons, Carbon and Low-Alloy Steels, Hardenability of Carbon and Low-Alloy Steels, Fabrication Characteristics, Service Characteristics, Specialty Steels and Heat-Resistant Alloys, Materials Availability and Recycling.
