Summary:

STEELS provides a metallurgical understanding of commercial steel grades and the design, manufacturing and service requirements that govern their application. The properties of different steels are described, detailing the effect of composition, processing and heat treatment. Where appropriate an introduction is given to standard specifications and design codes provided on component manufacture and property requirements for successful service performance.The book deals with steel products in some depth, in four chapters covering wide strip, structural steels, engineering and stainles
