Description
Steels represent the most widely-used metallic alloy, possessing a wide range of microstructures and mechanical properties. By examining
the mechanical properties of steels in conjunction with microstructure this book provides a valuable description of the development and
behaviour of these materials - the very foundation of their widespread use. Updated throughout and including new chapters on nanostructured
steels, and new alloys and technologies for the energy and automobile industries, the book is clearly written and illustrated, with extensive
bibliographies and real-life examples. An essential reference, both compact and readily comprehensive, for metallurgists and engineers
in both industry and academia.
Audience:
Senior undergraduate students and postgraduates in materials science, physical metallurgy and mechanical engineering; Metallurgists and materials engineers in the steel industry
