Steel Heat Treatment: Metallurgy and Technologies ensures up-to-date and thorough discussions of how specific heat treatment processes and different alloy elements affect the structure and properties of steel alloys. The book includes entirely new chapters on the classification and mechanisms of steel transformation, distortion of heat-treated components, and the treatment of tool steels, stainless steels, and powder metallurgy steel components.
