Hot Working Guide: Compendium of processing maps - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

This important reference book provides data that can be used to design and optimise bulk metal-working processes, such as rolling, forging, and extrusion, and to achieve microstructure and mechanical-property control without the need for expensive and time-consuming trial and error methods. Processing maps, flow-stress data, and other supporting processing/property data including optimum processing parameters are provided for more than 160 metals and alloys of ""technological importance."" Both conventional materials, such as steels, aluminium alloys, and super alloys, and advanced materials, such as titanium aluminised and metal-matrix composites, are covered. Data for each material are provided in a consistent format, making the search for specific information simple and straightforward. Microstructures, grain size, and ductility variations also are provided where available.

Practising materials and manufacturing engineers; R&D specialists in industry, universities, and government labs; and graduate students studying the science of mechanical processing and alloy design will find the materials processing data contained in this book invaluable.

Contents: An introductory chapter discusses hot workability, generation of processing maps, the concept of using processing maps in process design and microstructure control, design and manufacturing issues in relation to hot working, and guidelines on the use of processing maps with illustrative examples. Nine subsequent chapters are devoted to materials families including:

• Ferrous Alloys
• Aluminium Alloys
• Copper Alloys
• Magnesium Alloys
• Nickel Alloys
• Titanium Alloys
• Zinc Alloys
• Zirconium Alloys
• Cadmium
• Lead
