The annual global production of ferrous materials exceeds the
sum of all other metallic materials by more than one order of
magnitude. The huge demand for ferrous materials is driven not only
by costs and availability, but chiefly by their wide range of
useful properties that can be tailored by alloying and processing.
This book addresses these relationships and applications of ferrous
materials. Each chapter deals with particular topics relating to
both steel and cast iron, which have hitherto been handled
separately for historical reasons.
Part A describes the fundamental principles. Part B comprises
almost two thirds of the book and discusses standardised materials,
their processing and applications as well as recent developments.
Annex C describes the designation systems and gives a brief history
of ferrous materials. The individual chapters are:
A1 Constitution B1 Materials for general applications
A2 Microstructure B2 High-strength materials
A3 Heat treatment B3 Materials for surface layer treatments
A4 Properties B4 Tools for processing minerals
B5 Tools for processing materials
B6 Chemically resistant materials
C1 Material designations B7 Creep-resistant materials
C2 History of iron B8 Functional materials
This book focuses on materials technology and is intended for
engineers working with ferrous materials in practical situations
who wish to deepen their understanding or who are looking for
advice. The necessary practical relevance is based on the authors'
many years of industrial experience. Students will find a clear and
well-structured presentation with useful diagrams, informative
tables, plenty of data and many cross-references in the text. A
list of the effects of alloying and tramp elements as well as a
detailed index and keyword list assist the reader in finding the
required information.
