This atlas is a collection of continuous cooling transformation diagrams applicable to low carbon low alloy weld metals. It will be of assistance to welding engineers, welding metallurgists, welding-consumables designers in industry.

Research goal of the present monograph is the establishment of an efficient engineering approach, which will include straightforward but accurate simulation models, in order to estimate the residual stress fields of welded joints introduced during welding and their post-weld treatment with High Frequency Hammer Peening. The present subject lies on the intersection of structural engineering, material science and computational mechanics.

The issue “Applied Mechanics and Mechatronics” contains results of research from researchers and designers from several prominent universities and research institutes of Central Europe. The publication is divided into three following chapters: Modeling and Simulation of Mechanic and Mechatronic Systems Analysis and Design of Mechanic and Mechatronic Systems Experimental methods in Mechanics and Mechatronics. The submitted publication provides insight on modern approaches and methods in designing, modeling and experimental analyzing of mechanic and mechatronics systems.

The most comprehensive collection of time-temperature diagrams for irons and steels ever collected. Between this volume and its companion, Atlas of Time Temperature Diagrams for Nonferrous Alloys, you'll find the most comprehensive collection of time-temperature diagrams ever collected. Containing both commonly used curves and out-of-print and difficult-to-find data, these Atlases represent an outstanding worldwide effort, with contributions from experts in 14 countries. Time-temperature diagrams show how metals respond to heating and cooling, allowing you to predict the behavior and know beforehand the sequence of heating and cooling steps to develop the desired properties. These collections are a valuable resource for any materials engineer Both Collections Include: Easy-to-Read Diagrams Isothermal transformation Continuous cooling transformation Time-temperature precipitation Time-temperature embrittlement Time-temperature ordering Materials Included in the Irons and Steels Volume: Low-carbon High Strength Low Alloy Stainless (Maraging, austenitic, ferritic, duplex) Chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, silicon Structural Quenched and tempered Spring and Rail High-temperature creep-resistant Tool and die Eutectoid, hypereutectoid carbon Deep hardening Titanium bearing Irons: Gray cast, malleable, white, white cast, ductile.

The microstructures of both martensite and bainite, although sharing some common features, depict a plethora of subtle differences that made them unique when studied in further detail. Tailoring the final properties of a microstructure based on one or the other as well as in combination with others and exploring more sophisticated concepts, such as Q&P and nanostructured bainite, are the topics which are the focus of research around the world. In understanding the key microstructural parameters controlling the final properties as well as definition of adequate process parameters to attain the desired microstructures requires that a proper understanding of the mechanism ruling their transformation and a detailed characterization first be acheived. The development of new and powerful scientific techniques and equipment (EBSD, APT, HRTEM, etc.) allow us to gain fundamental insights that help to establish some of the principles by which those microstructures are known. The developments accompanying such findings lead to further developments and intensive research providing the required metallurgical support.
