Steel Heat Treatment examines the behavior and processes involved in modern steel heat treatment applications.

Features:

• Features a fresh analysis of quenching technologies and hardenability
• Covers the development of nitriding techniques for low-temperature treatment, particularly in the auto industry
• Details calculations used for the measurement, testing, and prediction of distortion and residual stresses
• Describes the latest methods for the design, manufacturing, and heat treatment of application-specific tool steels
• Identifies additional considerations and processes for treating powder metal materials and parts
• Offers a history and current analysis of stainless steel treatment and production
