Ferrous physical metallurgy

This book introduces the study of the interrelationships among phase diagram, free-energy-composition diagram, kinetics of phase transformation, microstructure, property, and processing for better understanding the behavior of metallic materials This text focuses on both the theoretical elements such as those dealing with deformation, annealing phenomenon, nucleation in solids, phase transformation in solids, and kinetics of phase transformations, and the processing elements such as those dealing with heat treatment operations. However, the concepts of phase diagram and free-energy-composition diagram are used repeatedly within the text, serving as essential tools in discussing the mode of phase transformations. Likewise, numerous empirical equations, based on structure-property relationships are employed in many chapters in the text to predict mechanical properties such as strength, which may prove beneficial in determining service performance of transformed ferrous alloys.
