ASM Failure Analysis Case Histories: Processing Errors and Defects

ASM Failure Analysis Case Histories: Processing Errors and Defects documents more than 110 cases of structural and/or functional failure attributed to manufacturing defects associated with primary and secondary processes, including melting, casting, forging, forming, and heat treating. Cases also examine failures stemming from cleaning, finishing, coating, and plating defects, as well as failures due to machining, injection molding, welding, and brazing errors. The cases describe the investigation, identify the primary cause, and 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.
