This invaluable resource book will help you determine which steel and heat treatment process will best meet your needs. It reviews current methods for determining hardness or strength and the concepts behind the common method of graphically depicting decomposition of austenite, the time-temperature- transformation (TTT) diagram. Subsequent tempering is also analyzed in great detail, along with austentizing, annealing, normalizing, martempering, austempering, and intercritical heat treatment. It also covers computer modeling of heat treatment processes. Published by ASM International.
