Detailed discussions and over 250 graphs and charts describe the effects of microstructure on the properties of carburized steels. In-depth coverage clarifies the causes, interpretation, prevention, and consequences of various microstructural variations and defects in carburized parts. Also covered are the effects of post-hardening heat treatments, surface grinding, and shot peening.
