Alloy Digest Sourcebook: Stainless Steel

This sourcebook provides more than 200 data sheets selected from 700+ on stainless steels published in Alloy Digest over the past 40 years. Each two-page data sheet provides facts and figures about composition, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, machinability, workability and castability (for casting alloys). Many graphs and tables are included. In addition, the sourcebook features an in-depth introduction to stainless steels in general, including property comparisons and selection factors, and introductions to each family of alloys, covering general properties and applications, corrosion behavior and fabrication characteristics.
Contents include: Introduction to stainless steels (definition of stainless steels, classification and designations, property comparisons, factors in selection, product forms, production, markets and applications) Introductions to and data sheets for wrought alloys (austenitic, martensitic, ferritic, duplex and precipitation hardenable) Introductions to and data sheets for corrosion-resistant cast alloys (iron-chromium, chromium nickel and nickel-chromium) and heat-resistant cast alloys (iron-chromium, chromium-nickel, iron-nickel-chromium and nickel-iron-chromium) Introductions and data sheets for powder metallurgy, hardfacing alloys and for iron-base superalloys.
