ASM Specialty Handbook : Nickel, Cobalt, and Their Alloys

This book is a comprehensive guide to the compositions, properties, processing, performance, and applications of nickel, cobalt, and their alloys. It includes all of the essential information contained in the 20-volume ASM Handbook series, as well as new or updated coverage in the following areas:

Expanded corrosion coverage including guidelines for selecting the best alloy for specific environments or applications. Data sheets covering the compositions, specifications, applications, and properties for dozens of the most commercially important heat-, corrosion-, and wear-resistant nickel and cobalt alloys. Recent advances in superalloy development, including coatings to extend high-temperature service life. Unique characteristics of nickel and cobalt which allow them to be used in special-purpose applications, e.g., magnets, controlled-expansion devices, electronics, and implants for the human body. Engineering applications for nickel and cobalt coatings produced by electroplating, electroforming, electroless coating, thermal spraying, and weld surfacing.
