Books for heat treatment

[clun]

I'm appreciated that if someone could recommend any text book for me about Heat treatment of metal. (AL-alloy, Stainless steel...etc.)

 

[ijzer]

Metals Handbook Ninth Edition Volume 4

 

[COKA]

THE best book that i know about is the "HEAT TREATER'S GUIDE Standard Practices and Procedures for Steel", Copyright by ASM. I have this one, but there is also one that exists for non-ferrous materials (Al). In there, there is heat treatment procedures for Carbon steels, Alloy steels, Tool Steels, Stainless Steels, and so on. For each grade you have normalizing, stress relieving, annealing, hardening, tempering, etc.
Good luck!
