ASM Handbook Volume 4E:2016

Volume 4E examines the heat treating process as it applies to nonferrous metals and alloys. It covers aluminum, copper, nickel, and titanium in detail, describing accepted heat treating practices and how they drive metallurgical transformations that ultimately determine material properties. The volume also contains information on quenching, distortion, and residual stress and addresses the complexities of alloying, aging, and microstructural development.
