Handbook of Residual Stress and Deformation of Steel

Distortion, cracking, and residual stresses are among the most important concerns for heat treaters, manufacturing engineers, and design engineers. This work includes practical information and data to help minimize and control the effects of residual stresses and distortion. Topics covered include recommended heat treating practices, methods for maintaining temperature uniformity during heating, tips for preventing oxide formation, and techniques for measuring residual stresses, to name but a few.
