Handbook of Mechanical Alloy Design

Offering one of the field's most thorough treatments of material design principles, the Handbook of Mechanical Alloy Design is a must-have reference of the effects of alloy compositional design on expected mechanical properties. It highlights the design elements that must be considered in risk-based metallurgical design and covers alloy design for a broad range of materials, including the increasingly important powder metal and metal matrix alloys and a concise overview of fastener design. It discusses the design issues associated with carbon, alloy, and tool steels, and microalloyed steels.
