Complete Investigative Toolkit for Metal Failure-Design or Process

Whether the problem is corrosion on the working surfaces of valuable or life-essential machinery, breakdowns in linchpin equipment, or life-threatening faults in air- or spacecraft, the causes must be found so that future disasters may be prevented. Metallurgy of Failure Analysis puts the tools for finding the answers in your hands.

A complete guide to all types of metal failure, both design and process, it features: coverage of faults due to casting, forging, welding, machining, and heat treatment; analysis of the concepts and mechanisms of fatigue, stress corrosion, hydrogen embrittlement, and more; remedial measure for corrosion, overload, fatigue, and wear; investigative procedures including destructive, nondestructive, and fractographic analysis.

The Complete Investigative Toolkit for Metal Failure-Design or Process What caused that fatal crack in the wing strut? Why did the link rods give way in the machine assembly? What caused the rivet heads on the helicopter rotor head to fail? With so much depending on the performance of metal parts, industry is critically interested in the causes of failures. Whether the problem is corrosion on the working surfaces of valuable or life-essential machinery, breakdowns in linchpin equipment, or life-threatening faults in air--or spacecraft, the causes must be found so that future disasters may be prevented.
