Ferrous Materials: A Treatise for Aircraft, Automobile, and Mechanical Engineers, Manufacturers, Constructors, Designers, Draughtsmen, Students, and Others
A practical guide to ferrous materials for aircraft, automobile, and mechanical engineers.
This volume delivers clear, user‑focused information on composition, strength, heat treatment, and practical use of iron and steel in real parts and structures. It emphasizes what the designer and constructor need to know to select materials and apply treatments effectively.
This edition is designed for the engineer, draughtsman, student, and shop floor practitioner. It combines theory with practical data drawn from standards, tests, and industry practice, helping readers translate material properties into reliable components and better designs. Guidance on material properties, heat treatments, and common specifications for ferrous materials. Practical test methods, data interpretation, and how to apply results to design decisions. Coverage of alloys, case-hardening steels, air‑hardening steels, and related casting and forming considerations. Insights into selecting materials for specific parts such as gears, shafts, axles, and fittings. Ideal for readers of engineering handbooks in aerospace, automotive, and general mechanical design, who need solid, actionable material knowledge.
