Product Description
An update to "optical Microscopy of Carbon Steels"
With a wealth of micrographs and the explanatory text to make them really useful, this book is a "must have" reference for all persons working irons and steels. Each micrograph is accompanied by data on the composition, condition, etchant, magnification. This "how to" book not only gives everyday working examples, but also discusses the relationship between the constitution, properties, and microstructure of various carbon steel products.
Key Features:
- Contains over 1,200 micrographs that illustrate the structures discussed
- Includes more than 90 other figures
- Describes etching methods used to reveal important structural features
