Steel Heat Treatment Handbook - 2 Volume Set (2nd ed.)

The second edition of this best-seller features updated and extended coverage of a variety of topics.

This new edition contains additional material on distortion and residual stresses arising from heat treatment, useful for improved process design.

It includes coverage of tool steels and stainless steels as well as more in-depth coverage of powder metal materials and processes.

It also provides detailed, current discussion of quenching and hardenability, extensive information on heat treatment process design, and thorough equipment coverage, all lacking in similar books.

This handbook makes an ideal single-source reference for metallurgists, designers, heat treaters, and mechanical engineers.
