Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel represents the revision of a classic volume in metallurgy for the technical community - producers, fabricators and users of stainless steel. Providing the essential information on stainless steel metallurgy, the text includes a discussion of the development of the alloy system. The author examines the numerous possibilities it affords for innovation with consideration to the demands for better and varied properties of alloy steels. Within the compact volume updating Parr and Hanson's 1966 publication, Mr. Lula details the properties, selection based on life-cycle cost, and application of stainless steels. He describes the metallurgy and properties of wrought stainless, considers cast stainless, and reviews fabrication from cold forming to powder metallurgy. The final chapters of the book are devoted to the important areas of corrosion, corrosion resistance, and corrosion testing in light of recent technological developments.
