BASIC METALLURGY TO KNOW

(OP)
Hai Experts,


Am working in Pipeline Industries with Mechanical Engineering Background. So i need here little Metallurgy here i would like to know basics of Steels can any one Provide advise on this matter. If any one have the Basic book please provide an copy it is very useful to me.


Thanks in advance.

The American Society for Metals (ASM International) has an excellent series of handbooks that will teach you a lot about metals and metallurgy. They are available in hard copy or by subscription online.

That's a lot of handbooks... Which volumes would you recommend as essential reading for a structural engineer? Or for a structural engineer involved in forensic work?

RE: BASIC METALLURGY TO KNOW

BowlingDanish...
I suggest the following; however, to buy them all in hardcopy, you're looking at around $2000 USD:
Volume 1, Properties and Selection: Irons, Steels, and High-Performance Alloys
Volume 6A, Welding Fundamentals and Processes
Volume 8, Mechanical Testing and Evaluation
Volume 9, Metallography and Microstructures
Volume 10, Materials Characterization
Volume 11, Failure Analysis and Prevention
Volume 13A, Corrosion: Fundamentals, Testing, and Protection
Volume 17, Nondestructive Evaluation and Quality Control

I would love to have the whole series of handbooks; however, that is certainly cost prohibitive. I have a few and am considering a subscription for the online. I don't really like subscriptions for reference material, but that seems to be the norm!

CREERAAM
"Making Shaping and Treating of Steel" you can find at Amazon.
"Metallurgy for the Non Metallurgist"

Ron
Volume 1 of the Handbook
Blodgett's "Design of Welded Structures"
Volume 11 "Failure Analysis" of the Handbook

RE: BASIC METALLURGY TO KNOW

weldstan...agree. I have those.

Hai Experts,


I Have the Book Volume 1, Properties and Selection: Irons, Steels, and High-Performance Alloys it was to deep in my point. I would like to ask one more question am having problem understanding the structure and crystal structure iron carbon diagram very basics Etc., Can any one suggest easy understandable book to know the very basics of steels it may helpful to me.

weldstan....I can relate to that!lol

RE: BASIC METALLURGY TO KNOW

ASM mentioned above also has excellent courses to offer at their headquarters. Reading on your own does not necessarily equate to being self taught. Self taught metallurgy is an art.

RE: BASIC METALLURGY TO KNOW

Creeraam, I'd recommend reading Chapter 2 of "Metallurgy for the Non-Metallurgist, Second Edition" to gain a better understanding of the basics.

Mr.Maui


Thanking you please take a look on the book which is attached here. your recommending this book? Because i was took this book in Internet that's why i want to ensure this is right book?


Thanks to all for valuable replies.

RE: BASIC METALLURGY TO KNOW

Can't believe nobody has recommended Callister - Intro to Materials Science!

If you're working in pipelines you may also want to be familiar with pipe forming processes (seam and seamless) and welding (usually SAW welding for seam pipes).

RE: BASIC METALLURGY TO KNOW

Jack....Calister's book is "Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering" (among other similar books of his)
