Synopsis

Maraging steels are high-strength steels which possess excellent toughness. Maraging refers to the ageing of martensite, a hard microstructure commonly found in steels. The use of maraging steels is growing rapidly in many applications including aircraft, aerospace and tooling applications. Computer-based modelling of material properties and microstructure is a very fast growing area of research and is a vital step in developing end uses for maraging steels. This is the first time a book has been dedicated to the application of modelling techniques to maraging steels. It allows researchers to predict properties and behaviour without having to fabricate components. This important book is of value to researchers and engineers involved in either maraging steels or modelling, or both. It also documents the latest research in these areas.

Key Features: provides an overview of maraging steels including microstructure and mechanical properties; reviews thermodynamic calculations for quantifying the phase fraction and element partition in maraging steels; includes chapters on the quantification of phase transformation kinetics and age hardening in maraging steels; authoritative reference written by two distinguished authors.

Contents: Introduction to maraging steels; Microstructure of maraging steels; Mechanical properties of maraging steels; Thermodynamic calculations for quantifying the phase fraction and element partition in maraging systems and precipitation hardening steels; Quantification of phase transformation kinetics in maraging steels; Quantification of age hardening in maraging steels; Maraging steels and overageing; Precipitation hardening stainless steel; Applications of artificial neural network on modelling maraging steel properties.
