The complete text and reference on the microstructure and properties of steels Steel has the wonderful ability to adapt to changing requirements. It is no wonder that it has seen off challenges from many other materials, and thrives today as arguably the most successful of all engineering materials. By examining the properties of iron and its alloys in conjunction with microstructure, this book provides a valuable guide to the development and behaviour of these metals. Updated throughout, this edition includes new material on nanostructured steels, new alloys and technologies for the energy and automobile industries, including TRIP-assisted alloys and the latest impressive creep and heat-resistant steels for increased power generation efficiency. Covers the microstructure, mechanical behaviour and properties of steels, the most widely-used metallic alloy . Thoroughly updated with new materials and technologies, plus a new accompanying set of exercises and solutions for teaching use . Respected author team who bring their wide experience to students and professionals Steels is an essential reference for metallurgists, physicists and engineers in both industry and academia.
