Heat Treatment Of Metals

Heat Treatment Of Metals should serve as a textbook tothe students of engineering particularly of metallurgy. The practicingmetallurgies shall also find this book of interest. The book lays a lot ofemphasis on the basics of the philosophy of heat treatment. The detailed studyof iron-carbon diagram is a must to grasp the subject better. It lays of stresson grain size of steels. Phase transformations have been incorporated in thebook. Hardenability has been dealt to signify its importance in heattreatment of steels. The book deals in various heat treatments to ferrous andnon-ferrous metals and alloys. It describes hardening due to age. Thebook also introduces the reader to Indian standards, AISI specifications andBritish standards, with which the students are normally not introduced. Thisbook shall fulfill the needs of not only students of engineering but shallprovide clear vision to engineers working in industry. Numerical problems shouldhelp the steel designers to solve their problems. Software metallurgies coulduse some data in formulating computer programmes particularly in selection ofsteel for a new product or for replacement of a costly steel.
