Handbook Of Metallurgical Process Design

Totten, a fellow of ASM International, explores processes relating to metallurgical component design in this reference for metallurgists, materials scientists, product and process engineers, and component designers. Early chapters overview hot and cold forming process design, aluminum rolling process design, semisolid metal-forming design, and principles of aluminum extrusion process design. Later chapters focus on casting process design for steel and aluminum, heat- treatment, surface engineering, and machining processes. Processes described include continuous casting design by the Stepanov method, laser surface hardening, and thermal spray processes. The book can be used in an advanced course on materials design.
