| Summary |
"This book begins with a short introduction and a master flow diagram - the 'alloy tree' - showing the interrelationship between the main alloy groups. This is followed by ten chapters each describing how stainless steel, nickel alloys and some low-alloy steels have evolved from plain carbon steel. Abbreviations, specifications, product forms, alloying costs and types of corrosion are covered in the extensive appendices and a full bibliography and sources of further information conclude the book." - back cover |
