Engineering materials and their applicationsThis edition of the classic text/reference book has been updated and revised to provide balanced coverage of metals, ceramics, polymers and composites. The first five chapters assess the different structures of metals, ceramics and polymers and how stress and temperature affect them. Demonstrates how to optimize a material's structure by using equilibrium data (phase diagrams) and nonequilibrium conditions, especially precipitation hardening. Discusses the structures, characteristics and applications of the important materials in each field. Considers topics common to all materials—corrosion and oxidation, failure analysis, processing of electrical and magnetic materials, materials selection and specification. Contains special chapters on advanced and large volume engineering materials plus abundant examples and problems. |

The most important effect of heat-treating steel is the change from a one-phase to
a two-phase structure. The precipitation of the second phase, iron carbide,
depends on the movement of atoms by diffusion. The controlled precipitation of ...

Stabilizing means heating to 50 to 100°F (30 to 55°C) above the maximum
service temperature so that the material does not soften in service. Specifications
with the letter T involve heat treatment to produce age hardening. These are used
