Book Recommendation
(OP)
Can you recommend a good book that will cover the basics of most all commercially available steels, including stainless, that has machinability, heat treatment tables, hardness, etc. Plus, a chapter on Stainless steel and corrosion, galling, heat treating, etc.
If not one book than two. I did come across some website that had a book on SS galling, but didn't save it.
thanks

Carpenter Technology has free [my favorite word] publications on stainless steel; both online & by mail. Free registration required. They have a nice booklet on stainless steels, 200+ pages if memory serves (can't find my copy right now) with technical info and a chapter on galling. They sell some 'Gall Tough' versions of SS.

The Nickel Institute http://www.nidi.org/ has thousands of free publications on nickel alloys, mostly stainless steels, including 375 pdf's for downloading.
