If you are a manufacturing
engineer, component designer, a materials failure analyst, or
if you have a general interest in the nature and prevention of
engineering failures, you will be interested in the new and
substantial revision of ASM Handbook, Volume 11,
Failure Analysis and Prevention.
The new Volume 11, with a focus on
the root causes of failure, describes the principles,
practices, and analytical techniques of failure analysis, so
that root causes are properly identified and corrected for the
ultimate objective of failure prevention.
The newly reorganized Volume 11
begins with sections on the general engineering aspects of
failure prevention with coverage on fundamental root causes,
materials selection, and the role of design reviews in failure
prevention and analysis.
Additional sections describe
failures related to metals manufacturing operations, and the
increasingly important role of life assessment methods in
failure prevention.
This is followed by a series of
additional sections on the failure analysis process, as well
as the principles, practices, tools, and techniques used to
perform and evaluate failure analysis work and the causes,
mechanisms, appearances, and prevention methodology for the
four classic types of failure (fracture, corrosion, wear,
distortion). |
