About This Book

A practical technical manual describes steel production methods, the influence of composition and alloying on properties, and metallographic and physical testing techniques. It surveys forging and heat-treatment practices—annealing, case carburizing, quenching, tempering—and procedures for hardening tool and high-speed steels, with guidance on furnaces and pyrometry. Chapters discuss alloy effects, application examples, and inspection tests to predict performance, combining process descriptions, treatment schedules, and instrumental measurement to guide selection and working of carbon and alloy steels.
