The properties of materials must be considered when designing a product, eg a steel pan handle would conduct too much heat and burn the user, whereas beech would be more appropriate as it is tough ...

Alloy steels are alloyed with other metals or materials, in addition to carbon, to improve properties. Carbon steels are classified based on the amount of carbon content in the steel. The four main ...

Alloy steels are steels alloyed with various different metals and materials to improve mechanical properties. Common alloy materials include manganese, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, silicon, and ...

By examining the mechanical properties of steels in conjunction with microstructure this book provides a valuable description of the development and behaviour of these materials - the very foundation ...
