ASM International continues to update the handbook series, with plans for more interactive digital editions, but the core philosophy remains: "Engineers trust data they can source."
You need a steel for an automotive transmission gear that requires a hard, wear-resistant surface (58 HRC) and a tough core. The gear will see impact loads at -40°C.
Used for initial screening of candidate materials based on mechanical and physical property data during the conceptual design phase.
Analyzes the practical manufacturability of steels, covering sheet and bulk formability, machinability, and weldability.
A heat exchanger in a marine environment needs to handle warm seawater.
Moving beyond simple carbon steels, the handbook delves into the world of alloying. This is where metallurgy becomes a tool for performance enhancement. The volume covers:
