Heat Treatment Selection And Application Of Tool Steels

Improper heat treatment of tool steels can lead to shorter tool life, higher incidences of metal fatigue, dangerous procedures, and expensive errors. To avoid these costly mistakes, leading expert Bill Bryson takes the mystery out of tool steel heat treatment by presenting a clear, practical approach to common techniques and applications. This easy-to-understand book is ideal for toolmakers, machinists, and engineers. It takes a comprehensive look at common heat treatment procedures used in shops around the world and provides detailed instructions for all types of tool steels.

A guide for toolmakers, machinists, and engineers to the common heat treatments used in shops around the world for steel that is to be used in tools. With a minimum of technical vocabulary, explains such aspects as how metal transforms during the treatment, minimizing cracking and distortion, pickin

For tool designers, tool and die makers, machinists, and apprentices, Szumera presents specification, heat treatments, applications for all types of die and mold steels, and suggestions on how to prepare steels for machining and heat treatment. He does not provide a bibliography. Annotation (c) Boo

Excerpt from Tool Steel, Its Uses and Treatment for the Practical Mechanic This booklet is an attempt to simplify problems which arise in connection with the heat treatment of Tool-Steel. While one of its objects is to increase the already large number of users who recognize the superiority of Bourne-Fuller Tool-Steels, we believe it will also be useful in many other ways, as it is the result of many years of practical experience, coupled with a thorough scientific understanding of the entire subject. This means a wide acquaintance with the practical problems of the machine-shop, as well as those in the making of the steel itself. Our Tool-Steel representatives are experts in the selection, treatment, and uses of our steels. Their advice and co-operation is at your service any time, and we trust you will avail yourself of our readiness to assist you in obtaining maximum results.

What is heat treatment? This book describes heat treating technology in clear, concise, and nontheoretical language. It is an excellent introduction and guide for design and manufacturing engineers, technicians, students, and others who need to understand why heat treatment is specified and how different processes are used to obtain desired properties. The new Second Edition has been extensively updated and revised by Jon. L. Dossett, who has more than forty years of experience in theat treating operations and management. The update adds important information about new processes and process control techniques that have been developed or refined in recent years. Helpfull appendices have been added on decarburization of steels, boost/diffues cycles for carburizing, and process verification.
