About one third oft the text is dedicated to fundamentals and the remainder deals with specific grades and their application in industry. The books combines teaching and practical information on standard and new ferrous materials to help shop-floor engineers as well as researchers and students, who need to improve their knowledge in this field of materials technology. |

| Publisher Description: Ferrous materials have made a major contribution to the development of modern technology. They span a tremendous range of properties and applications. Part A of this book is dedicated to the fundamental relationships between the structure and the properties of ferrous materials. The considerably larger Part B deals with standardised materials, recent developments and industrial applications, which also affect processing aspects. Details are given for general engineering materials, tool and functional materials, as well as high-strength, creep-resistant and wear-resistant grades. This book closes the gap in the treatment of steel and cast iron. Each chapter takes into account the gradual transitions between the two types of ferrous materials. The authors demonstrate that steel and cast iron are versatile and customisable materials which will continue to play a key role in the future. |
