High Nitrogen Steels

Basic research and new manufacturing methods have led to high nitrogen steels (HNS), a promising new group of materials for use in advanced applications in mechanical and chemical engineering. The book deals with the atomic structure, constitution, properties, manufacturing and application of martensitic, austenitic, duplex and dualphase steels of superior strength and corrosion resistance. Combining metallurgy and engineering aspects. It gives a detailed overview and presents new results on HNS. The book is intended for scientists as well as technologists, who will find stimulating information.

Because of their properties, high nitrogen steels are finding increasing applications in various fields of engineering The book gives the state of the art in design, manufacturing, and application The authors belong to the inner circle of European and Asian scientists in this field Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
