Woldman's Engineering Alloys

Annotation New edition of a reference that presents the values of properties typical for the most common alloy processing conditions, thus providing a starting point in the search for a suitable material that will allow, with proper use, all the necessary design limitations to be met (strength, toughness, corrosion resistance and electronic properties, etc.) The data is arranged alphabetically and contains information on the manufacturer, the properties of the alloy, and in some cases its use. The volume includes 32 tables that present such information as densities, chemical elements and symbols, physical constants, conversion factors, specification requirements, and compositions of various alloys and metals. Also contains a section on manufacturer listings with contact information. Edited by Frick, a professional engineering consultant. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

Methods to Extend Mechanical Component Life

This book identifies and classifies the causes of component wear and failure. It then turns to the analytical and investigative methods to find the causes of excessive wear and failure at the mechanical, dynamic interfaces within tested components weak links." These methods are described in a cookbook fashion. They are supported by a thorough discussion of the experiences with the application of these processes to actual components, the weak links found, the corrective actions taken, and the significant improvements in service life achieved. The great effect that properties of nonmetallic materials have on component life are included. This includes an introduction to the family tree of polymeric materials and an extensive tabulation of 120 dynamic interface configurations and designs that were investigated and rated
