Updated book covers virtually all of the technical aspects related to the selection, processing, use, and analysis of superalloys

Superalloys are indeed super Superalloys are nickel-, iron-nickel, and cobalt-base alloys generally used at temperatures exceeding 540C

They have provided the most reliable and cost-effective means of achieving high operating temperatures and stress conditions in aircraft, industrial gas turbines, and are even found in such diverse fields as oil equipment and biomedical implants.

Now readers can find everything they need to know about superalloys in Superalloys: A Technical Guide, Second Edition.

This second edition has been completely revised and updated from the original 1988 edition, with many additional figures and new and revised tables, and has been modified in layout to better accommodate the technical information provided.

Superalloys covers virtually all of the technical aspects related to the selection, processing, use, and analysis of superalloys.

It provides comprehensive and practical coverage of superalloy technology; Chapter Four in particular is probably the most complete and up-to-date presentation on alloy melting available anywhere.

The authors also provide many tips and guidelines that the reader can use in identifying the most appropriate superalloy for a specific application.

In addition, the relation of properties and microstructures is covered in more detail than in previous books.

The book also covers forging and forming, heat treating, joining technology and practice, machining, corrosion and protection of superalloys, and much more.

Whether the reader is familiar with basic superalloy metallurgy or is a complete novice, Superalloys provides a complete, single-volume approach to the subject of superalloys.

Superalloys: A Technical Guide sells for £138.00.
