Publisher's Synopsis
This volume focuses on the mechanical properties of hypereutectoid steels and cast irons as influenced by thermomechanical processing and microstructure. These 17 papers were presented during Materials Week '97 in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, September 14-18, 1997.;Recent advances in metallurgy of hypereutectoid steels and cast irons show that unique properties, such as ultrahigh hardness and strength and superplasticity are achievable.;Coverage includes: hot workability of hypereutectoid tool steels; thermomechanical processing of austempered ductile iron - an overview; mechanical behaviour of ultrahigh strength, ultrahigh carbon steel wire and rod; tensile elongation behaviour of fine-grained Fe-C alloys at elevated temperatures.
