Denjay,

For power plant metalurgy and the history of how materials are selected, I would start with "STEAM" (40th edition)by Babcock & Wilcox.

It is a primer, but is very specific about the selection, use and application of metals for power plant service....

See

I do not know of any comprable books for petroleum industry materials selection....
