The automotive industry is under constant pressure to design vehicles capable of meeting increasingly demanding challenges such as improved fuel economy, enhanced safety and effective emission control. Drawing on the knowledge of leading experts, Advanced materials in automotive engineering explores the development, potential and impact of using such materials.

The aim of this book is to provide an understanding of the basic principles of materials selection as practised in engineering manufacture and design with an overview of established materials usage. Emphasis is placed on identifying service requirements and how materials relate to those requirements, rather than listing materials and describing applications.

Unlike any other text of its kind, Materials Selection and Applications in Mechanical Engineering contains complete and in-depth coverage on materials of use, their principles, processing and handling details; along with illustrative examples and sample projects. It clearly depicts the needed topics and gives adequate coverage with ample examples so that ME students can appreciate the relevance of materials to their discipline.

The Handbook of Stainless Steel by Outokumpu serves as a comprehensive, basic introduction to the world of stainless steel.

If you are an engineer, designer or specifier and you want a basic, readable introduction to stainless steel, then look no further. We have pulled together the expertise of our specialist to create the Handbook of Stainless Steel as a technical and objective guide to stainless steel and other specialty steels.

This book gives engineers and designers a valuable guide on stainless steels and how to use them.Easy to read, this helpful technical guide is for anyone who designs or builds with stainless steels. Loaded with property data, it is an important resource for designers and engineers selecting and specifying stainless steels, whether they are first-time users or experienced designers working with new steel types or on new applications.

Includes additional data and reference information carefully selected and adapted from other authoritative ASM sources.

Livre témoignage autobiographique : Trente-deux ans, c’est le nombre d’années qu’il m’a fallu pour mettre un nom sur ma différence. Comment ai-je pu « passer au travers des mailles du filet » durant tout ce temps ?Tant d'années à croire que j'étais médiocre, à douter de moi, à avoir honte de mon écriture fébrile et de mes résultats scolaires souvent désastreux...
