If you are a manufacturing engineer, component designer, a materials
failure analyst, or if you have a general interest in the nature and
prevention of engineering failures, you will be interested in the new
and substantial revision of ASM Handbook, Volume 11, Failure Analysis
and Prevention. The new Volume 11, with a focus on the root causes of
failure, describes the principles, practices, and analytical techniques
of failure analysis, so that root causes are properly identified and
corrected for the ultimate objective of failure prevention.

Provides engineers with enhanced capability for recognizing and interpreting the
various features of a fracture, enabling you to perform improved
failure analyses and to better determine the relationship of the
fracture mode to the microstructure.

The purpose of ASM Handbook, Volume 13A: Corrosion: Fundamentals, Testing,
and Protection is to help engineers and designers understand corrosion
so that they can solve existing corrosion problems and prevent future
ones. It should be the first book you select when researching a
corrosion problem. The coverage of the volume has been completely
revised to ensure that it is the most comprehensive, practical, and
up-to-date resource available.

Material developments and advances in the study of corrosion since the landmark
Metals Handbook, Volume 13, Corrosion (1987) have driven the
development of a volume devoted to the corrosion performance of
materials and the selection and application of materials for corrosion
resistance. The result: a brand-new 700-page ASM Handbook, comprised of
48 peer-reviewed articles on how metals and nonmetals are effected by
various elements.
. . . . .

Corrosion affects a significant portion of the world economy--the direct cost of
corrosion has been estimated to be 2% of the Gross World Product.
Corrosion: Environments and Industries addresses how corrosion impacts
specific segments of the world economy--by environment and by
industrial sector. This Volume provides you with answers to corrosion
problems affecting your industry, and provides ways to address
corrosion issues in the environments that your equipment experiences.
. . . . .

Provides an in-depth review of a number of processes recently
introduced or that have come into acceptance such as radial, rotary
(orbital), precision, powder, and isothermal/hot-die forging. Plus
superplastic sheet forming, and abrasive waterjet and laser cutting.
New materials in this book pertains to the development of thermomechanical processing,
particularly with regard to aerospace alloys, and the development of
concepts and tests to determine metal workability/formability
relationships

You get detailed descriptions of specific machining and grinding processes,
guidelines for proper selection of cutting tool materials and cutting
fluids, and recommendations for improved productivity and efficiency
during the machining of various materials. Twenty-one articles
summarize the process capabilities, machines, cutting parameters plus
variables, and applications of traditional machining processes such as
turning, drilling, milling and the like.
