ABSTRACT
Reviewing an extensive array of procedures in hot and cold forming, casting, heat treatment, machining, and surface engineering of steel and aluminum, this comprehensive reference explores a vast range of processes relating to metallurgical component design-enhancing the production and the properties of engineered components while reducing manufacturing costs. It surveys the role of computer simulation in alloy design and its impact on material structure and mechanical properties such as fatigue and wear. It also discusses alloy design for various materials, including steel, iron, aluminum, magnesium, titanium, super alloy compositions and copper.
Design principles: basic principles. Risk-based metallurgical design. Alloy design: designing with carbon-, low-, and medium-alloy steels. Designing with tool steel. Designing with high-strength low-alloy steels. Designing with stainless steel. Designing with microalloyed steels and interstitial-free steels. Cast iron design - processes, alloys and properties. Designing with aluminum alloys. Designing with magnesium - alloys, properties and casting processes. Designing with titanium alloys. Designing with ni-base alloys. Designing with copper alloys.
