9781845691783: Creep-resistant Steels

Sinossi

Creep-resistant steels must be reliable over very long periods of time at high temperatures and in severe environments. Understanding and improving long-term creep strength is essential for safe operation of plants and equipment. The contributors and editors provide an authoritative summary of key research in this important area. The first part describes the specifications and manufacture of creep-resistant steels. Part two covers the behavior of creep-resistant steels and methods for strengthening them and the final group of chapters analyzes applications in such areas as turbines and nuclear reactors. This book will be a valuable reference for the power generation, petrochemical and other industries which use high strength steels at elevated temperatures.
