Course Description

Expansion of Heat Treating Coverage in ASM Handbook Series

The ASM Handbook series is expanding its coverage of heat treating into multiple volumes, with ASM Handbook, Volume 4A: Steel Heat Treating Fundamentals and Processes serving as the inaugural volume. This volume lays the groundwork for understanding steel heat treating and offers comprehensive insights into various processes. Key topics include:

  • Physical Metallurgy of Steel Heat Treatment: An overview of the fundamental principles.
  • Fundamentals of Steel Hardness and Hardenability: Essential concepts critical for steel selection.
  • Practical Aspects of Hardenability: Guidelines for evaluating hardenability in steel selection.
  • Hardenability Calculations: Methods for calculating hardenability and utilizing related data.
  • Quenching Fundamentals: Core principles and practical considerations in steel quenching.
  • Expanded Quenching Coverage: Detailed exploration of quenching processes.
  • Updates on Heat Treatment Techniques: Enhanced discussions on annealing, tempering, austempering, and martempering.
  • New Articles: Insights on cleaning, subcritical annealing, austenitizing, and quench partitioning.
  • Surface Hardening Techniques: Comprehensive treatment of surface hardening through applied energy, including carburizing, carbonitriding, nitriding, and diffusion coatings.

The editors and authors have incorporated numerous charts, examples, and practical reference data throughout the 50 articles featured in this volume, enhancing its utility for practitioners.

Subsequent volumes—ASM Handbook, Volume 4B: Steel Heat Treating Technologies, Volume 4C: Induction Heating and Heat Treatment, and Volume 4D: Heat Treating of Irons and Steels—will further broaden the series’ coverage of heat treating.
