Steel Selection: A Guide for Improving Performance and Profits - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Describes techniques for designing machine components and for selecting steels that can improve manufacturing profitability, thus bridging the gap between metallurgical theory and real-world applications in the U.S. steel industry. Uses shop language and practical examples to show how to economically design and produce components while minimizing distortion and cracks during heat treatment. Includes interrelationship of a part's shape and the ease of heat treatment with minimum distortion; also includes heat treatments that require minimum supervision and inspection for distortion and defects. Steel terms and pricing methods are fully explained emphasizing the economic and processing advantages of boron. Plus, an appendix describes the three most useful methods for calculating steel hardenability and provides data on mechanical properties, dimensional tolerances, and hardenability for most commonly specified constructional steels.
