This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Creep-resistant steels are widely used in the petroleum, chemical and power generation industries. 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 plant and equipment. This book provides an authoritative summary of key research in this important area.The first part of the book describes the specifications and manufacture of creep-resistant steels. Part two covers the behaviour of creep-resistant steels and methods for strengthening them. The final group of chapters analyses applications in such areas as turbines and nuclear reactors.With its distinguished editors and international team of contributors, Creep-resistant steels is a valuable reference for the power generation, petrochemical and other industries which use high strength steels at elevated temperatures. 700 pp. Englisch.

Riassunto

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.
