Heat Treatment Of Metals, Volume 2Heat treatment is used not only for increasing the strength of materials but also to improve machining, formability and ductility to enhance the characteristics for manufacturability, This process can be used to improve product performance by increasing the strength or altering the desirable characteristics, For example, steels are heat treated for hardening, softening or material modification, This reference book is intended for practising engineers-metallurgical, mechanical, mining, material science, and technical personnel working in steel plants, rolling mills, automobile manufacturing and mechanical industries, This volume deals with heat treating furnaces and equipment thermomechanical treatments, heat treatment of cast iron, tool and stainless steel, heat treatment of non-ferrous metals and alloys, and inspection in quality control of the treated metals.
