ASM Metals HandBook Vol. 3 - Alloy Phase Diagrams

ASM International, 2002, 857 p. The subject of fractography was first addressed in a Metals Handbook volume in 1974. Volume 9 of the 8th Edition, Fractography and Atlas of Fractographs, provided systematic and comprehensive treatment of what was at that time a relatively new body of knowledge derived from examination and interpretation of features observed on the fracture surfaces of metals. The 8th Edition volume also documented the resurgence...

ASM International, 2002, 2597 p. ASM Handbook, Volume 13A, Corrosion: Fundamentals, Testing, and Protection, is the first volume in a two-volume update, revision, and expansion of Corrosion, Volume 13 of the ninth edition Metals Handbook, published in 1987. The second volume—ASM Handbook, Volume 13B, Corrosion: Materials, Environments, and Industries—is to be published in 2005. The purpose of these two volumes is to represent the current state o...

ASM International, 2002, 2110 p. Forming and forging processes are among the oldest and most important of materials-related technologies. Volume 14 of the 9th Edition of Metals Handbook describes these processes comprehensively, with accuracy and clarity. Today, industry must continuously evaluate the costs of competitive materials and the operations necessary for converting each material into finished products. Manufacturing economy with no sa...

ASM International, 2002, 2592 p. This volume of the ASM Handbook series, Fatigue and Fracture, marks the first separate Handbook on an important engineering topic of long-standing and continuing interest for both materials and mechanical engineers at many levels. Fatigue and fracture, like other forms of material degradation such as corrosion and wear, are common engineering concerns that often limit the life of engineering materials. This Hand...

ASM International, 2002, 3470 p. This is the second of two volumes in the ASM Handbook that present information on compositions, properties, selection, and applications of metals and alloys. In the first volume, irons, steels, and superalloys were described. In the present volume, nonferrous alloys, superconducting materials, pure metals, and materials developed for use in special applications are reviewed. In addition to being vastly expanded...

ASM International, 2002, 2535 p. In the 9th Edition of Metals Handbook, the title of this Volume was Surface Cleaning, Finishing, and Coating; for the new ASM Handbook edition, the title has been changed to Surface Engineering. A useful working definition of the term surface engineering is "treatment of the surface and near-surface regions of a material to allow the surface to perform functions that are distinct from those functions demanded fro...

ASM International, 2002, 2762 p. On behalf of the ASM Handbook Committee, it is a pleasure to introduce this fully revised and updated edition of Volume 7, Powder Metal Technologies and Applications as part of the ASM Handbook series. Since the first publication of Volume 7 in 1984 as part of the 9th Edition Metals Handbook, substantial new methods, technologies, and applications have occurred in powder metallurgy. These developments reflect the...

Edited by E.A.Brandes and G.B.Brook Butterworth-Heinemann, 1998. 194 pp. The light metals covered by this handbook are only those of industrial importance: aluminium, magnesium and titanium. The values given have been updated to the time of publication. They are intended for all those working with light metals.

ASM International, 1997, ISBN: 0871705966, Pages: 591 ASM Speciality Handbook This latest handbook brings together in one volume a comprehensive reference source of information on engineering metallic and nonmetallic heat-resistant materials from carbon and alloy steels to refractory metals, and ceramics to carbon-carbon composites. The volume covers the complete spectrum of technology dealing with heat-resistant materials including high-tempe...

InTech, Rijeka, Croatia, 2011, 128 pages Magnesium is the lightest of all the metals and the sixth most abundant on Earth. Magnesium is ductile and the most machinable of all the metals. Magnesium alloy developments have traditionally been driven by requirements for lightweight materials to operate under increasingly demanding conditions (magnesium alloy castings, wrought products, powder metallurgy components, office equipment, nuclear applica...
