ASM Failure Analysis Case Histories: Power Generating Equipment documents 100 cases of structural and/or functional failure involving equipment used in utility and industrial power facilities, including boilers, burners, steam lines, turbines (gas, steam, wind, and water), cooling systems, nuclear reactors, and radioactive waste containers. The cases describe the investigation, identify the primary cause, and usually include remedial solutions. These case histories have been compiled from a wide variety of ASM International publication types, including ASM Handbook volumes, conference proceedings, technical books, journals, and magazines.
