Following a general introduction, which reviews steelmaking practices as well as the classification, general properties, and applications of steel, this volume contains four major sections that describe processing characteristics, service characteristics, corrosion behavior, and material requirement
Provides detailed, yet practical information that will help you select the best grade for a particular environment or application. There are in-depth reviews of formability, weldability, machinability, and hardenability of the various steel grades. You'll also discover how adding certain alloys can significantly improve steel processing. The strength and toughness section has been greatly expanded with more coverage than ever before of corrosion fatigue.
