Zillmann, 69, 151 FOREWORD ‘THIS VOLUME 7 of the 8th Edition of Mrrazs Hanps0ox, an “atlas of Microstructures of Industrial Alloys”, marks a departure from the format of the fitst six volumes of this series, This is essentially a volume of “pictures”, not of text, except for the caption ander each picture that describes in eppropriate detail the material, its treatment and its structure. This book fulfills a long-standing need to have in a single, convenient, up-to-date volume the micto- structures of the whole range of major industrial alloys. Of particular significance is the fact that the alloy coverage in this volume correlates excellently with that of Volume 1 of this series, “Properties and Selection of Metals”. These two volumes, therefore, when used together, provide a powerful tool and guide for understanding the behavior of metals and optimizing the selec- tion and treatment of an alloy for a partteular type of application, In addition, the inclusion of microstructures of prematurely failed material, together with explanatory comments, provides significant clues for troubleshooting and remedial action. ‘As do the previons volumes, this publication represents the efforts of many contributors and a dedicated staft to produce a reference book bath comprehensive and of high quality, Particular attention has been given to the quality of the micrographs and to the selection of magnifications, from very low values to the range of the electron microscope, appropriate to specific structures. In addition to the Handbook Committee and the 216 direct contributors listed herein, the nature of this publication has necessitated the assistance of many metallographers not credited. On behalf of ASM and its membership at large, we extend our deep appreciation to all these hard-working, expert participants. More then ever, metals are forming en essential part of our industry, society and quality of living. Fortunately, research in the past ten to fifteen years has provided us with an excellent, even if @ still incomplete, understanding of the relationship between structure and behavior of metals, thus meking possible greater efficiency and safety in the increasingly diverse and exacting ap- plication of metals. It is in this context that we are confident that this volume will make its own important contribution to tech- nological progress. N. E, Promrert AutaN Ray Purnant President American Society for Metals ‘Managing Director PREFACE ‘THIS 1S THE SEVENTH in a series of volumes that will supersede the single-volume 7th edition of Metans annnoox and greatly enlarge its scope. Being an atlas, this book differs from the previous volumes of the 8th edition, in that it consists largely of illustrations and captions and contains a minimum of text. In preparing this Atlas, the aitn of the ASM Handbook Committee ‘and the contributors hss been to provide the teader with a collection of micrographs that will be useful in understanding the structure, properties and applica- tons of industrial alloys, The alloys for which illustrations are included are those most frequently used in the metalworking indus- try. The distribution of content by major classes of materials is indicated by the following list of the num- ber of illustrations presented for each class: ‘The great majority (in fact, 90%) of the Hlustra- tions in this volume are photomicrographs made with visible light, Where appropriate, macrographs, electron. micrographs, and fractographs are included. The table below shows the distribution of these illustrations in re- ation to classes of alloys and also lists the number of contributors that participated in the preparation of each section of the book. ‘As it was for the first six volumes of this 8th edition, prineipal reliance for euthorship has again been placed ‘on committees of experts from industry, tn order to arrive at a balanced presentation of divergent view- points and to achieve realism in relation to practice. Each of the 16 committees that participated in the authorship of this volume funetioned under the chair- manship of Robert F.

Many of the micrographs were prepared especially for presentation in these pages. A greater number, how- ever, were chosen from collections built up by many industrial organizations over a period of years for their ‘own use in fulfilling practical requirements of materials engineering or manufacturing process control. The committee members and other contributors named in the volume, therefore, have represented a much greater number of engineers and metallographers who have accomplished a large part of the eareful work of speck. men selection, preparation and photography that Is published here. ‘To this large group of anonymous eon- tributors a special word of thanks is due. Their efforts, as well as those of the named contributors, have made this volume possible. ‘Tavton Leman Editor Metats Handbook Contents of Metals Handbook Volume 7 ATLAS OF MICROSTRUCTURES OF INDUSTRIAL ALLOYS Introduction foes 1 Low-Carbon Sheot Steel 31016 Standards for ten common grain ‘sizes, rimmed steel (ASTM) 4 Efteet of increasing carbon ‘content, rimmed steel... 6 Grain size and earbide r07in, ‘aluminum-killed steel . 6 Hot rolled structures, rimmed steel 7 a 0 Erect of increasing reductions, capped steel Reduction and reerystailization "-. 1 Normalized, annealed, and quenched ‘structures Galvanized and aluminum coatings 12 ‘Ghromized steel; tin and porcelain enamel coatings ve 3 Streicher strains, oranite ped, skin lamination, arrowheads, rolled-in seale 1“ Ingot-seab sliver, roll-siippage streaks, pits trom rolled-in sand 15 Nonmetallic inclusions, rimmed ‘steel ane 8 Plate, Tube and Pipe Steels . 17 to 28 Plate steels ASTM AS6, A201 and AMES cee IB Plate steels ASTM A286, AIG, ‘A433 and A515 . 9 Plate stecls ASTM ASi6 and ASI 20 Plate steels ASTM ASIT, ASS and A897 Plate steols ASTM ASST, AB(2 and A853...
