This book has been used as a valuable training manual for several decades. Non-experts in the industry and trade wishing to acquire some general knowledge about steel and its production and processing routes will find this book a useful, easy-to-understand introductory work. The current edition has been completely revised, including for the first time the topic of plant management.

The tundish represents the inextricable link between batch steelmaking and the continuous casting process. In its initial stages of development, the tundish was regarded as nothing more than a reservoir to hold sufficient liquid steel to provide a constant head over the mold, and to permit a ladle exchange to occur without interruption of sequence casting. Continuous Casting, Volume 10 provides a road map to tundish technologies for steelmakers of varying levels of expertise.

For ingot processing by rolling and forging, it is essential that the ingot surface is free from defects and that the interior ingot structure complies with the requirements of the intended use. This applies to conventional casting methods as well as special melting methods. The bilingual German-English catalog is subdivided into ingot surface defects, ingot head defects, interior ingot defects and defects occurring during ESR.

Introduction to the Mechanical Behavior of Steel provides insight into the formability of automotive steel, load-bearing capacity of construction steel, fatigue life of axles and bearings, and risk assessment for the fracture of line pipe steel. The book emphasizes approaches that can be applied in engineering practice. Steel mechanical behavior includes a diversity of strengthening mechanisms, and the fundamentals of strength are illustrated by means of practical applications.

This preventive maintenance book is a must have for all maintenance professionals. It is a unique resource for improving maintenance management processes and learning smart preventive maintenance (PM), condition monitoring, inspection and troubleshooting techniques on a wide variety of components, including pumps, motors, gears, bearings, chain, pipes and valves, couplings, seals, fans, lubrications, lifting equipment, hydraulics, pneumatics, compressors, steam, electrical systems, etc. Condition monitoring and PM techniques are presented, together with inspection tools and examples of how to inspect and prevent failures for a number of standard components. This book carefully explains how to set up and improve a preventive maintenance program in any industry.
