Bøker i ASM Handbooks-serien

Covers the complete spectrum of technology dealing with heat-resistant materials, including high-temperature characteristics, effects of processing and microstructure on high-temperature properties, materials selection guidelines for industrial applications, and life-assessment methods. Also included is information on comparative properties.

The most comprehensive and authoritative single-volume reference on nonferrous metals and alloys. Provides detailed information on major alloy groups, with particular emphasis on aluminum, titanium, copper, and magnesium. New topics include recycling, superconductors, metal-matrix composites, and intermetallics.

A complete guide to machining technologies, including fundamentals, detailed descriptions of specific machining and grinding processes, guidelines for proper selection of cutting tool materials and cutting fluids, and recommendations for improved machining productivity and efficiency.

If you are involved with machining or metalworking or you specify materials for industrial components, this book is an absolute must. It gives you detailed and comprehensive information about the selection, processing, and properties of materials for machining and metalworking applications.

Provides detailed information about surface cleaning, finishing, and coating. Includes never-before published articles on testing of coatings and thin films, environmental concerns, and surface engineering of nonmetallic structural materials. There's also expanded analysis of advanced processes such as chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, and diffusion coatings.

Contents include: Introduction to Stainless Steels; Corrosion Behaviour; Fabrication and Finishing; Metallography, Microstructures and Phase Diagrams; and Properties of Stainless Steels. An index is also included.
