Heat treatment reference book
(OP)
Is there a heat treat reference book that deals with both the theoretical aspects and practical approach to heat treatment? I'm actually looking for a reference book that is a combo of ASM hand book (Heat treatment Vol-4) and ASM -Heat treaters guide?
Appreciate any help.

RE: Heat treatment reference book
I work mostly with SA105, A694, SA182, SA304 and 316 grade forgings, 4130, 4340, H13 and H21 steels for tooling and occasional Inconel and Aluminum alloys.
I'd like to buy a desk-top reference book that deals with both the theoretical approach and the practices in heat treatment, without having to buy both ASM Vol-4 and ASM Heat Treater's guide. I do not deal with heat treatment on a day to day basis but get a lot of heat treatment work done from vendors. I'm faced with situations where our materials do not achieve the required mechanical properties. I'm sometimes at a loss to understand the process. I wish to educate myself about the approach and practices in the Heat treatment industry.

I've heard of C.E. - Carbon Equivalence,
but what is P.C.E?? Any help??

"Heat treatment, Selection and application of Tool Steels" by Bill Bryson (Hanser Gardner Publications).
Hope this helps.
