About this ebook
Thermochemical Surface Engineering of Steels, Second Edition presents up to date information on a range of techniques and their applications. This edition expands upon the material presented in the first edition, now including a discussion of high temperature process for stainless steels as well as a new chapter on solution nitriding, as well as fully updating the current materials. The book is comprised of five parts, which take the reader from theory through to application. Part 1 presents foundational information regarding Thermodynamics; Part 2 discusses the requirements for improved fatigue resistance for materials exposed to thermochemical treatments. Parts 3 looks at nitriding, nitrocarburizing and carburizing, followed by a look at specific low temperature carburizing and nitriding; The book concludes with a discussion of various thermochemical surface engineering methods. - Provides the latest information on the fundamentals of surface treatments and the performance of improved materials - Covers nitriding, nitrocarburizing and carburizing of iron and iron carbon alloys, as well as solution nitriding - Examines how different thermochemical surface engineering methods can help against corrosion
