Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a collection of British Standard Specifications for various grades of Wrought Steels used in Automobile manufacturing. The specifications were compiled by the British Engineering Standards Association (BESA), comprising members of relevant institutions including Civil, Mechanical, Naval, and Electrical Engineers. This work presents standardized definitions for terms and general clauses used in the specifications. Each type of Wrought Steel is given its own specification consisting of its chemical composition and check test results. This includes Carbon Casehardening Steels, Nickel and Nickel -Chrome Steels, as well as Air-hardening Nickel-Chrome Steel. By presenting these standard specifications, this book provides the guidelines and requirements for engineers and manufacturers to achieve consistency, quality, and safety in the production of Automobiles. It serves as an essential tool for ensuring that the steels used in Automobile construction meet the necessary standards and performance criteria.
