This Sourcebook provides more than 150 data sheets selected from 700 on stainless steels published in Alloy Digest over the past 40 years. Each two-page data sheet provides facts and figures about composition, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, machinability, workability, and castability (for casting alloys). Many graphs and tables are included. In addition, the Sourcebook features an in-depth introduction to stainless steels in general, including property comparisons and selection factors, and introductions to each family of alloys, covering general properties and applications, corrosion behavior, and fabrication characteristics.
