ASM Handbook, Volume 3: Alloy Phase Diagrams
edited by Hiroaki Okamoto, Mark E. Schlesinger; Erik M. Mueller
The 2016 edition of ASM Handbook, Volume 3: Alloy Phase Diagrams is a revision of the original 1992 edition. 40% of the volume has been updated and now includes 1083 binary systems, 1095 binary diagrams, 115 ternary systems, and 406 ternary diagrams. The revised volume provides a more complete explanation of phase diagrams and their significance with the addition of new material on solid solutions and phase transformations; thermodynamics; isomorphous, eutectic, peritectic, and monotectic alloy systems; solid-state transformations; and intermediate phases. Users of this volume will gain a better understanding of phase diagram construction and alloy system interactions while having a valuable resource to aid in their research and engineering pursuits. Since the 1992 edition of this volume was published, improvements in experimental techniques have increased the accuracy of results, filling the remaining gaps of existing systems. Increasingly sophisticated computer modeling methods determine phase equilibria that could not be determined experimentally in a practical manner resulting in numerous revisions of previously accepted phase diagrams, and predicted phase diagrams for newly assessed systems.
ASM Handbook, Volume 4A: Steel Heat Treating Fundamentals and Processes
edited by John L. Dossett; George E. Totten
ASM Handbook, Volume 4A, Steel Heat Treating Fundamentals and Processes is the first of multiple volumes on heat treating. Volume 4A introduces the basics of steel heat treating and provides in-depth coverage of the many steel heat treating processes. Coverage includes: Physical metallurgy of steel heat treatment Fundamentals of steel hardness and hardenability Practical aspects of hardenability as a key criterion in the selection of steel Hardenability calculations and the use of hardenability data Fundamentals and practical aspects of steel quenching Expanded coverage on quenching processes Updates and expansion on annealing, tempering, austempering and martempering New articles on cleaning, subcritical annealing, austenitizing, and quench partitioning of steel heat treatment Significant expansion on the fundamental and applied aspects of surface hardening by applied energy, carburizing, carbonitriding, nitriding, and diffusion coatings Editors and authors have also added charts, examples, and practical reference data for application purposes to the 50 articles included in the volume. Other ASM Handbooks in the heat treating series are: Volume 4B: Steel Heat Treating Technologies, Volume 4C: Induction Heating and Heat Treatment, Volume 4D: Heat Treating of Irons and Steels, Volume 4E: Heat Treating of Nonferrous Alloys
ASM Handbook, Volume 4B: Steel Heat Treating Technologies
edited by John L. Dossett; George E. Totten
Volume 4B expands coverage on equipment, control, troubleshooting, and problems associated with steel heat treating. New articles extensively address distortion and the prevention of cracking including the modeling and simulation of distortion. Furnace equipment and controls are described in detail, along with quenching systems and characterization of quenchants for reliable and effective hardening. General process and procedure factors also are introduced including temperature uniformity of furnaces, calculation of heat treating costs, decarburization, and more. Other ASM Handbook volumes in the heat treating series are: Volume 4A: Steel Heat Treating Fundamentals and Processes, Volume 4C: Induction Heating and Heat Treatment, Volume 4D: Heat Treating of Irons and Steels, Volume 4E: Heat Treating of Nonferrous Alloys
