Looking for stainless steel basic book
(OP)
Hi guys, want to have a basic, not too extensive, introductory book about stainless steel. Any suggestions?
Another vague question: I used to have a free online about 70 pages book about steel basics. It was published in 1954(?) and the cover page says this is a "monograph"... It talks about basic carbon/iron diagram, heat treatment, carburization, etc. I can't remember its title, anyone has a clue about what I am looking for? I want to have a copy.

I have found various documents for stainless steels.
I also have ASM's Stainless steels and I do recommend it. Has solved some of my issues.

( It is the British Stainless Steel Association.)
I have found it very usefull, in some previous concerns I have had with stainless steel.
It contains a lot of technical articles and publications giving "concentrated" info avoiding lot of blah..blah.. and complicated theory ...

These are the books I'm considering:
- ASM Specialty Handbook: Stainless Steels
- ASM Metals Handbook
- Stainless Steels for Design Engineers
I'd like to only buy 1 of them, but 2 could be OK. I'm thinking that the Metals Handbook and Specialty Handbook would be redundant. Is that true? Of the 2 which is better for stainless?

Per the author's suggestion (mcguire) - I'm also considering:
- Stainless Steel for Engineers
I'm worried this is geared toward theory for college use and may not have enough practical data inside, such as test results for exposure to sulfuric acid, wear rates for various steels in contact with each other, etc.

"Heat treatment and properties of iron and steel", National Bureau of standards monograph 88, 1966.
So happy to find it again, it was the first book I really read and understood about metallurgy. An ex-colleague recommended it to me, still grateful.
mcguire's book is serving me very well too. Pretty happy with it.

It has separate chapters devoted to non-ferrous alloys, cast irons, stainless steels, as well as high speed steels and tool steels, among others. You may find it worthwhile as well.
