Nickel, Colbalt and Their Alloys: 8 (ASM Handbooks) - Tapa dura

This book is a comprehensive guide to the compositions, properties, processing, performance and applications of nickel, cobalt, and their alloys. It includes all of the essential information contained in the 20-volume ASM Handbook series. Includes new or updated coverage in the following areas: Expanded corrosion coverage including guidelines for selecting the best alloy for specific environments or applications Data sheets covering the compositions, specifications, applications and properties for dozens of the most commercially important heat, corrosion and wear-resistant nickel and cobalt alloys Recent advances in superalloy development, including coatings to extend high-temperature service life Unique characteristics of nickel and cobalt which allow them to be used in special-purpose applications, e.g., magnets, controlled-expansion devices, electronics, and implants for the human body Engineering applications for nickel and cobalt coatings produced by electroplating, electroforming, electroless coating, thermal spraying, and weld surfacing. Contents include: Nickel and Its Alloys: The Nickel Industry, occurrence, recovery and consumption Uses of nickel Wrought and Cast Corrosion-Resistant Alloys Cast Heat-Resistant Ni-Cr and Ni-Cr-Fe alloys Superalloys Special-Purpose Alloys Nickel Coatings Corrosion Behavior, including performance in specific environments, Stress-Corrosion Cracking and Hydrogen Embrittlement, and High-Temperature Corrosion Fabrication and Finishing, including forming, forging, powder metallurgy, heat treating, machining, welding and brazing, cleaning and finishing, and high-temperature coatings for superalloys Metallography, Microstructures, and Phase Diagrams Cobalt and Its Alloys: The Cobalt Industry, occurrence, recovery and consumption Uses of cobalt Cobalt-base alloys Wear behavior Corrosion Behavior Fabrication Characteristics Metallography, Microstructures and Phase Diagrams.
