Heat Treating Technical Books
The perfect companion to ASM Handbooks, these provide a deeper dive into relevant Heat Treating topics, offering a wealth of knowledge from industry experts.
Practical Heat Treating: Basic Principles
This book describes the basic principles of heat-treating technology in clear, concise, and practical terms for students, emerging professionals, production personnel, and manufacturing or design engineers. It is an excellent resource and introductory guide on the practical “whys and therefore” of heat treatment—including the tips and useful look-up information of a perennial reference book. With in-depth and comprehensive coverage, this book details many practical implications of heat treatment in terms of material and process selection and structure and property development, with insights on doing it right or more reliably.
Practical Heat Treating: Processes and Practices
Practical Heat Treating: Processes and Practices covers processes, equipment, and the management of heat treating systems and operations. It is a companion book to Practical Heat Treating: Basic Principles (ASM International, 2020). The book covers surface hardening of steel, carburizing, carbonitriding, nitriding, and ferritic nitrocarburizing. Quality assurance and specifications and problems associated with heat treated parts are covered. A glossary of heat treating terms is also included in the book.
Surface Hardening of Steels: Understanding the Basics
Surface Hardening of Steels: Understanding the Basics is a practical selection guide to help engineers and technicians choose the most efficient surface hardening techniques that offer consistent and repeatable results. Emphasis is placed on characteristics such as processing temperature, case/coating thickness, bond strength, and hardness level obtained.
Practical Nitriding and Ferritic Nitrocarburizing
Nitriding and ferritic nitrocarburizing offer unique advantages compared to other surface hardening heat treatments. This book provides a comprehensive guide to understanding these processes, selecting the appropriate process and process parameters, controlling the process, evaluating results, and troubleshooting.
Weld Integrity and Performance
Practical information for welding engineers, welders, metallurgists, and materials science engineers involved with the application, fabrication, and assessment of welded structures. This general reference is a compilation of selected articles from various ASM International publications that deal with structural welds involving important ferrous and nonferrous engineering metals and alloys.
Elements of Induction Heating: Design, Control, and Applications
Provides an excellent overview of the range of applications of induction heating with methods by which conventional as well as special heating jobs can be designed around the capabilities of the process.
Heat Treatment of Gears: A Practical Guide for Engineers
This book is designed to provide the engineers and designers with a better understanding of heat treatment and its effects on gear quality and performance, especially as these considerations are critical to ensuring that the gears perform satisfactorily under anticipated service conditions.
