More than 30,000 listings are presented in this edition with increased coverage from major steel producing countries such as China, India, and Japan.

Improper heat treatment of tool steels can lead to shorter tool life, higher incidences of metal fatigue, dangerous procedures, and expensive errors. To avoid these costly mistakes, leading expert Bill Bryson takes the mystery out of tool steel heat treatment by presenting a clear, practical approach to common techniques and applications. This easy-to-understand book is ideal for toolmakers, machinists, and engineers. It takes a comprehensive look at common heat treatment procedures used in shops around the world and provides detailed instructions for all types of tool steels.

Manufacturers know the value of a knowledgeable workforce. The challenge today is finding skilled people to fill these positions. Since publication of the first edition in 1961, instructors, students, and practitioners have relied on Manufacturing Processes and Materials for the foundational knowledge needed to perform in manufacturing roles across a myriad of industries. As an on-the-job reference, anyone working in a technical department of a manufacturing company — regardless of education, experience, and skill level — will use this book to gain a basic understanding of manufacturing processes, materials, and equipment. Now in its fifth edition, the book covers the basic processes, materials, and machinery used in the job shop, toolroom, or small manufacturing facility. At the same time, it describes advanced equipment used in larger production environments. The reader is given a thorough review of metals, composites, plastics, and other engineering materials, including their physical properties, testing, treatment, and suitability for use in manufacturing. Quality, measurement and gaging, process planning and cost analysis, and manufacturing systems are all addressed. Questions and problems at the end of each chapter can be used as a self-test or as assignments in the classroom. Manufacturing Processes and Materials is also available as an eBook. Additional teaching materials for instructors: Instructor's Guide (eBook only)Instructor's Slides (zip file)

This book provides an 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.

Contains more than 1400 curves, almost three times as many as in the 1987 edition. The curves are normalized in appearance to aid making comparisons among materials. All diagrams include metric units, and many also include U.S. customary units

Offering one of the field's most thorough treatments of material design principles, including a concise overview of fastener design, the Handbook of Mechanical Alloy Design provides an extensive overview of the effects of alloy compositional design on expected mechanical properties. This reference highlights the design elements that must be considered in risk-based metallurgical design and covers alloy design for a broad range of materials, including the increasingly important powder metal and metal matrix alloys. It discusses the design issues associated with carbon, alloy, and tool steels, microalloyed steels, and more. The Handbook of Mechanical Alloy Design is a must-have reference.
