Suggestions for Reference on Dimention Changes from Heat Treating

[WillCole]

Hello,

I am hoping to get some suggestions for a consolidated reference on dimensional changes (volume changes) in various metals / alloys as a result of heat treating. Preferably I am looking for one that gives curves or at least data points contrasted with hardness.

Any suggestions or favorite references?

Cheers!

Thanks for the suggestion salmon2. I was hoping to find a reference that might have charts or the like where you could look up 1095 steel at various hardness and it would give approximate changes from either annealed or normalized condition or both. Ideally, one that would have a wide range of steels A2, D2, S7, 4340 etc etc.

I am finding I have to hunt down this info with each vendor and it would be handy to have a single reference for as many materials as possible.
