Vacuum Heat Treatment VolumeII covers new topics and expands on those already talked about previously, makingthis two-volume set the comprehensive resource on the subject of vacuum heattreatment. The book will provide readers with a wide range of useful information,both from a practical and technical standpoint on the subject and give them theopportunity to reach out to sponsors to learn even more. Readers will be able to makebetter and more informed decisions about their equipment, process, and serviceneeds. What makes this book unique to the heat treatment industry is that it is writtenspecifically for the heat treater, engineer and metallurgist by one of their own.

Vacuum Heat Treatment is a comprehensive introduction and technical resource for vacuum processes and equipment, focusing on subjects that engineers, heat treaters, quality assurance personnel and metallurgists need to know. This book also serves as a practical guide by offering numerous tips and techniques on vacuum operation, vacuum controls, vacuum component operation and vacuum maintenance/repair. Each topic is covered in sufficient depth so that the reader understands why the subject is important and how to use this information in determining equipment choices, how furnaces should be run, how process recipes are designed, and what troubleshooting steps are needed.

This volume contains papers collected by results of the Conference on Vacuum Heat Treatment and Heat Treatment of Tools that was held on November 20 - 21, 2018 in Puchov, Slovakia. The published papers cover different fields of the main conference topic, such as heat treatment of tool steels in a vacuum; thermo-chemical treatment of tool steels; cryogenic treatments; interrelationships between the treatment parameters, obtained microstructures and resulting mechanical properties; distortion behaviour of components, and wear performance of tools and engineering components.

One of two self-contained volumes belonging to the newly revised Steel Heat Treatment Handbook, Second Edition, this book examines the behavior and processes involved in modern steel heat treatment applications. Steel Heat Treatment: Metallurgy and Technologies presents the principles that form the basis of heat treatment processes while incorporating detailed descriptions of advances emerging since the 1997 publication of the first edition. Revised, updated, and expanded, this book ensures up-to-date and thorough discussions of how specific heat treatment processes and different alloy elements affect the structure and the classification and mechanisms of steel transformation, distortion of properties of steel alloys. The book includes entirely new chapters on heat-treated components, and the treatment of tool steels, stainless steels, and powder metallurgy steel components. Steel Heat Treatment: Metallurgy and Technologies provides a focused resource for everyday use by advanced students and practitioners in metallurgy, process design, heat treatment, and mechanical and materials engineering.

Materials Science and Engineering theme is a component of Encyclopedia of Physical Sciences, Engineering and Technology Resources in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. Materials Science and Engineering is concerned with the development and selection of the best possible material for a particular engineering task and the determination of the most effective method of producing the materials and the component. The Theme with contributions from distinguished experts in the field, discusses Materials Science and Engineering. In this theme the history of materials is traced and the concept of structure (atomic structure, microstructure and defect structure) and its relationship to properties developed. The theme is structured in five main topics: Materials Science and Engineering; Optimization of Materials Properties; Structural and Functional Materials; Materials Processing and Manufacturing Technologies; Detection of Defects and Assessment of Serviceability; Materials of the Future, which are then expanded into multiple subtopics, each as a chapter. These three volumes are aimed at the following five major target audiences: University and College students Educators, Professional practitioners, Research personnel and Policy analysts, managers, and decision makers and NGOs.
