Summary

Summary

Includes application on thousands of steels and metals!

If you are involved with machining or metalworking or you specify materials for industrial components, this book is an absolute must. It gives you detailed and comprehensive information about the selection, processing, and properties of materials for machining and metalworking applications. They include wrought and powder metallurgy tool steels, cobalt base alloys, cemented carbides, cermets, ceramics and ultra-hard materials.

You'll find specific guide-lines for optimizing machining productivity through the proper selection of cutting tool materials plus expanded coverage on the use of coatings extended cutting tool and die life. There is also valuable information on alternative heat treatments for improving the toughness of tool and die steels. All new material on the correlation of heat treatment microstructures and properties of tool steels is supplement with dozens of photomicrographs. Information on special tooling considerations for demanding applications such as isothermal forging, die casting of metal matrix composites, and molding of corrosive plastics is also included. And you'll learn about alternative to ferrous materials for metalworking applications such as carbides, cermets, ceramics and nonferrous metals like aluminum, nickel and copper base alloys.

Contents include: Materials for Machining and Grinding Applications, Materials for Metalworking Applications, Heat Treatment and Secondary Processing of Tool Materials, Microstructural Analysis and Failure Analysis of Tool Materials.

Choice Review

This large volume contains several original articles, but most of the material was excerpted from the full, multivolume ASM Handbook (1990- ). It is a comprehensive reference on tool materials that covers selection of materials for specific applications, heat treatment, microstructural analysis, and failure analysis. True to its title, it covers not only ferrous-based tools but all materials, including copper, cermets, ceramics, etc. Each chapter is followed by a good collection of references. The 40-page index makes it easy to find any classification of tool. To obtain the same depth of information, one would have to search, bit by bit, the requisite data from all the volumes of the ASM Handbook. This reference is an excellent alternative that will save both time and money. Valuable to anyone involved with tooling. Upper-division undergraduate through professional; two-year technical program students. J. P. Neville; emeritus, Wentworth Institute of Technology
