Heat Treatment of Metals by Prof. Vijendra Singh

The book “HEAT TREATMENT OF METALS” is specially written for students of engineering who want to get a good theoretical as well as practical insight of the subject, and for metallurgists working in industries and consultancy services. The book incorporates latest understanding of the various stages and types of heat treatments particularly based on electron microscopy, Auguer spectroscopy, modern dislocation theory and computers, which is missing in most of the books on the subject.
