Explores the basics on how phase diagrams help predict and interpret the changes in the structure of alloys. It describes the basic principles, construction, interpretation, and use of alloy phase diagrams for all important liquid and solid reactions. Gas-metal reactions, important in metals processing and in-service corrosion, also are discussed.

Presents more than 1400 stress-strain curves from authoritative sources. The presentation of the curves is normalized to aid making comparisons among materialsThis second edition contains over 1400 curves. All diagrams include metric (SI) units, and many also include U.S. customary units.

Nearly 2,500 binary alloy phase diagrams (one "best" diagram selected per system) and associated crystal structure data. Includes an "Introduction to Alloy Phase Diagrams" and an explanation of "Impossible and Improbable Forms of Binary Phase Diagrams."

Provides insight into the integration of modelling for simulation of manufacturing processing. The metals industry is moving toward an integrated computational materials engineering approach (ICME). This provides engineers with accurate predictions of material and process behavior to avoid or reduce costly trial-by-error and prototyping methods of development.

Explains the metallurgy of steel and its heat treatment for non-metallurgists, starting with the basics and then gradually introducing more complex concepts involved in heat treatment of most types of steel.

This volume covers standard designations from worldwide standards for cast irons and steels, wrought carbon and alloy steels, stainless steels, high strength steels, and tool steels. Entries are provided for more than 30,000 alloy designations.

Key articles from over 10 separate ASM publications are brought together as a reference on weld integrity crack prevention. This book covers the essentials of weld solidification and cracking, weldability and material selection, process control and heat treatment, failure analysis, and fatigue and fracture mechanics weldments.

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.

This edition is a complete revision and contains a new subject matter including information on ferrous powder metallurgy, cast irons, ultra high strength steels, furnace atmospheres, quenching processes, SPC and computer technology.

The largest collection of ternary phase diagrams and related crystal structure data ever assembled can be found in this 10 volume set.

A comprehensive materials dictionary. It features 10,000 authoritative entries, covering materials, processes, and concepts related to ferrous and nonferrous metals, plastics, ceramics, composites, and adhesives. The terms and definitions are supplemented by approximately 700 figures and more than 150 tables.

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.

This book further extends ASM's Understanding the Basics series. This book covers the technology, fabrication, and uses of lightweight materials. An emphasis is placed on the reasons for using a particular material for a given application.

Examines all aspects of advanced composite materials; what they are, where they are used, how they are made, their properties, how they are designed and analyzed, and how they perform in-service. It covers both continuous and discontinuous fibre composites fabricated from polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices, with an emphasis on continuous fibre polymer matrix composites.

Optical microscopy is one of the most valuable-but under utilized-tools for analysing fibre reinforced polymer matrix composites. This hands-on instructional book covers everything; sample preparation, microscopic techniques, and applications.

Progress in the understanding of corrosion and corrosion resistance properties of sintered stainless steels has lead to new applications that benefit from net shape processing and more efficient material utilization

Details the many forms of weld corrosion and the methods used to minimize it. Chapters on specific alloys groups - carbon and alloy steels, stainless steels, high-nickel alloys, and nonferrous alloys - describe both general welding characteristics and the metallurgical factors that influence corrosion behaviour. Corrosion problems associated with dissimilar metal weldments are also examined.

Friction stir welding is a relatively new joining process developed initially for aluminum alloys. It is a solid-state joining technique that is energy efficient, environment friendly, and versatile. This book covers the rapidly growing area of friction stir welding. It also addresses the use of the technology for other types of materials processing.
