The Extraction and Refining of Metals provides a novel approach to the science and technology of both ferrous and non-ferrous metal production. Rather than the traditional treatment in which one metal at a time is considered, this new approach, which examines several metals at a time, reveals more clearly the versatility and limitations of each of the main types of process. 

Steel Making is designed to give students a strong grounding in the theory and state-of-the-art practice of production of steels. The book is primarily focused to meet the needs of undergraduate metallurgical students and candidates for associate membership examinations of professional bodies (AMIIM, AMIE). 

This book comprehensively deals with all of the key topics of steel making including blast furnace plants, operations and processes, raw materials, preparation, chemical processes, and more. The book is full of illustrative examples and diagrams, charts, and figures to make complex concepts easy to understand.

From the prediction of complex weather patterns to the design of swimsuits, modeling has, over the years, quietly but steadily become an essential part of almost every field and industry—and steelmaking is no exception. Factors such as visual opacity, high operating temperature, and the relatively large size of industrial reactors often preclude direct experimental observation in steel manufacturing. Therefore the industry is overwhelmingly dependent on modeling to quickly and cost-effectively provide insight into analysis, design, optimization, and control of processing.

Steel is a critical material in our societies and will remain an important one for a long time into the future. In the last two decades, the world steel industry has gone through drastic changes and this is predicted to continue in the future. The Asian countries (e.g. China, India) have been dominant in the production of steel creating global over-capacity, while the steel industry in the developed countries have made tremendous efforts to reinforce its global leadership in process technology and product development, and remain sustainable and competitive.

This authoritative account covers the entire spectrum from iron ore to finished steel. It begins by tracing the history of iron and steel production, right from the earlier days to today s world of oxygen steelmaking, electric steelmaking, secondary steelmaking and continuous casting.

Get a detailed explanation of how and why one steel is comparable to another. No other book, currently on the market, does this. Compare standards from ASTM, AFNOR, API, ASME, BSI, EN, CSA, DIN, GB, ISO, JIS, and SAE. 

"Turkdogan's book is a welcome, excellent addition to the existing literature on the science of steelmaking. Written by a recognised expert in the field who has participated for many years in the research effort at US Steel, it covers concisely, clearly, and thoroughly a variety of pertinent topics." 

This specialty handbook covers the entire spectrum of case irons. Includes basic information on metallurgy, solidification characteristics, and properties, as well as extensive reviews on the low-alloy gray, ductile, compacted graphite, and malleable irons. 

New and expanded material has been added covering high-alloy white irons used for abrasion resistance, and high-alloy graphitic irons for heat and corrosion resistance. Melting and foundry practices and more are discussed.

Corrosion Atlas: A Collection of Illustrated Case Studies, Third Edition includes 679 case histories divided over 135 materials in 13 material groups, 25 systems (installations) and 44 different phenomena. It is an essential reference work on the design, fabrication, operation and maintenance of the extremely varied and often very complicated systems and machinery used in today's technology.
