I am looking for some good books that deal with heat treating (carbon and stainless steel). I am a mechanical engineer and also a beginning gunsmith and I am looking for books that will help me out in this area. I can interperet metallurgy books but am looking for something a little more practical and straightforward so I don't have to dig for info so much.

books for heat treating
- Thread starter ndh78

A good basic book would be "Engieer to Win" by Carrol Smith - it is based around racing car materials technology but the principals are treated reasonably well.
There is nothing much available directly associated with your gunsmithing, apart from some general information in the brochures from SVI ( I believe Sandy Stryer is a metallurgist)

If you want something more involved, try the ASM Handbook on Heat Treatment. Follow the link for more details
