Following a general introduction, which reviews steelmaking practices as well as the classification, general properties, and applications of steel, this volume contains four major sections that describe processing characteristics, service characteristics, corrosion behavior, and material requirements for specific applications. In each section, emphasis is on the relationships between microstructure and properties and the influence of modern steelmaking practices on the performance of steels. Intended as a complement to volume 1 of the handbook series, this fourth volume completes the series' treatment of steels. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
