Book SynopsisSchey's Tribology in Metalworking: Friction, Lubrication, and Wear is an update to the seminal text Tribology in Metalworking by John Schey, originally published by ASM International in 1983.The 1983 first edition served as a recognized essential resource for researchers in the fields of manufacturing tribology and metal forming for many decades. This 2023 update preserves the essential information in that first edition but provides a thorough update, including a description of the significant advances in tribological research and detailed information for every metal forming process.The tribology of metal forming is very different from other sub disciplines of tribology such as in machine design, micromachine or biomedical applications. Metalforming tribology requires understanding of the implications of elevated temperature and the lubricants that are suitable at those temperatures; the complex interactions between oxide-free workpiece and tooling; the use of conversion coatings or engineered surfaces to help entrain lubricant in demanding applications; the use of emulsions, solid lubricants, cryogenics, and phase change lubricants; contact mechanics for plastically deforming workpieces; and many other considerations.The book is written in an approachable, practical style and each chapter has hundreds of references. Chapters and sections are logically arranged, and the comprehensive indexes are complete. Topics covered include fundamentals of metalworking; surfaces and friction; wear; theory of lubrication; metalworking lubricants; measurement techniques; rolling; drawing; extrusion; forging; sheet metalworking; metal removal; and much more.Author Steven R. Schmid is a Distinguished Professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and has performed research on metalworking tribology for 30 years. He has won numerous best paper and teaching awards and served as President of the North American Manufacturing Research Institute from 2015 to 2016 and an International Delegate to SME from 2019 to 2020. He received the SME Gold Medal in 2019, a lifetime achievement award from MESIC (Spain) in 2020, and the David Dornfeld Innovation Award in 2023.

Book SynopsisIn recent years, significant developments have been made to increase the mechanical strength of steels in order to reduce the overall weight of structures, particularly in motor vehicles. Depending on the application, the increase in strength should not be at the expense of forming and in-use properties. The development of ultra-high strength steels requires a search for new trade-offs between these properties in order to optimize the final microstructure. New Advanced High Strength Steels analyzes the interactions between tensile mechanical properties and properties such as work hardening, anisotropy, resistance to rupture, fatigue life, corrosion resistance, crashworthiness, edge retention, hydrogen resistance and weldability. It also examines the links between the microstructural parameters of high-strength steels and the properties mentioned above. It highlights the metallurgical developments that have been necessary for the emergence of these new generations of steels. The book concludes with a look ahead to future developments in ultra-high strength steels.Table of ContentsForeword xiiiDavid EMBURY Introduction xviiMohamed GOUNÉ, Thierry IUNG and Jean-Hubert SCHMITT Chapter 1 Strain Hardening and Tensile Properties 1Mohamed GOUNÉ and Olivier BOUAZIZ 1.1 Introductory remarks 1 1.2 Stress/strain curve: macroscopic quantities 2 1.3 Behavior of a single-phase structure: microscopic approach 3 1.4 Strain hardening and mechanical behavior of precipitation hardened micro-alloyed steels 7 1.5 Strain hardening and mechanical behavior of martensitic steels 19 1.6 Austenitic steels Fe-0.6C-22Mn with TWIP effect 23 1.7 Multiphase quenching and partitioning steels 28 1.8 Conclusion 38 1.9 References 39 Chapter 2 Anisotropy and Mechanical Properties 43Hélène RÉGLÉ and Brigitte BACROIX 2.1 Challenges 44 2.2 Textural anisotropy and mechanical properties 46 2.3 Conclusion 61 2.4 Calculation details 62 2.5 References 67 Chapter 3 Compromise between Strength and Fracture Resistance 71Anne-Françoise GOURGUES-LORENZON and Thierry IUNG 3.1 Introduction 71 3.2 Methods for measuring the resistance to damage and fracture 71 3.3 Physical mechanisms and microstructural control of damage and fracture 80 3.4 Examples of application 89 3.5 Conclusion and outlook 99 3.6 References 100 Chapter 4 Compromise between Tensile and Fatigue Strength 103Véronique FAVIER, André GALTIER, Rémi MUNIER and Bastien WEBER 4.1 Toughness: the main cause of part failure in service 103 4.2 Fatigue: from crack initiation to failure 104 4.3 How to improve fatigue life through metallurgy? 112 4.4 Increasing role of defects in high strength steels 123 4.5 Specific treatments for fatigue performance 126 4.6 Conclusion 128 4.7 References 129 Chapter 5 High Strength Steels and Coatings 133Marie-Laurence GIORGI and Jean-Michel MATAIGNE 5.1 Introduction 133 5.2 The continuous galvanizing process 134 5.3 Selective oxidation during continuous annealing 143 5.4 Coatings on high-strength steels 149 5.5 Conclusion 160 5.6 References 161 Chapter 6 Corrosion Resistant Steels with High Mechanical Properties 167Franck TANCRET, Christine BLANC and Vincent VIGNAL 6.1 Introduction 167 6.2 General principles of corrosion/oxidation and corrosion/oxidation resistance 168 6.3 Wet corrosion resistant and high strength steels 169 6.4 Alloys resistant to hot oxidation and creep 184 6.5 Conclusion 193 6.6 References 194 Chapter 7 Crashworthiness by Steels 197Dominique CORNETTE, Pascal DIETSCH, Kevin TIHAY and Sébastien ALLAIN 7.1 Introduction and industrial issues 197 7.2 The tests in force, or how to pass from the behavior of the complete vehicle to the behavior of the material 198 7.3 Parameters influencing the material during the manufacturing process and the behavior in service 214 7.4 Adequacy between material properties and crash behavior according to the different evaluation criteria 220 7.5 Conclusion 230 7.6 References 230 Chapter 8 Cut Edge Behavior 233Stéphane GODET, Ève-Line CADOTTE and Astrid PERLADE 8.1 Introduction/problem analysis 233 8.2 Cutting processes and characteristics of the cut edge 234 8.3 Behavior of the cut edge 240 8.4 Conclusion 260 8.5 References 260 Chapter 9 The Relationship between Mechanical Strength and Hydrogen Embrittlement 263Xavier FEAUGAS and Colin SCOTT 9.1 Introduction 263 9.2 How to identify and characterize HE 264 9.3 Solubility and (apparent) diffusion coefficients of hydrogen in steels 268 9.4 Case study: embrittlement of fastener steels 276 9.5 Case study: HE of thin sheets 284 9.6 Research and perspectives 293 9.7 References 295 Chapter 10 Weldability of High Strength Steels 303Thomas DUPUY, Jessy HAOUAS and Laurent JUBIN 10.1 Introduction 303 10.2 Weldability issues 307 10.3 Solutions for a good weldability of high-strength steels 324 10.4 References 330 Appendix: A Brief Review of Steel Metallurgy 333Thierry IUNG and Jean-Hubert SCHMITT Postface: What's Next for Ultra-high Strength Steels? 373François MUDRY List of Authors 381 Index 385

Book SynopsisSolidification is one of the oldest processes for producing complex shapes for applications ranging from art to industry, and remains as one of the most important commercial processes for many materials. Since the 1980s, numerous fundamental developments in the understanding of solidification processes and microstructure formation have come from both analytical theories and the application of computational techniques using commonly available powerful computers. This book integrates these developments in a comprehensive volume that also presents and places them in the context of more classical theories. This second edition highlights the key concepts within each chapter to help guide the reader through the most important aspects of the topics. The figures are now in color, in order to improve the visualization of phenomena and concepts. Recent important developments in the field since the first edition was published have also been added. The three-part text is aimed at graduate and professional engineers. The first part, Fundamentals and Macroscale Phenomena, presents the thermodynamics of solutions and then builds on that subject to motivate and describe equilibrium phase diagrams. Transport phenomena are discussed next, focusing on the issues of most importance to liquid-solid phase transformations, then moving on to describing in detail both analytical and numerical approaches to solving such problems. The second part, Microstructure, employs these fundamental concepts for the treatment of nucleation, dendritic growth, microsegregation, eutectic and peritectic solidification, and microstructure competition. This part concludes with a chapter describing the coupling of macro- and microscopic phenomena in microstructure development. The third and final part describes various types of Defects that may occur, with emphasis on porosity, hot tearing and macrosegregation, presented using the modeling tools and microstructure descriptions developed earlier.Table of ContentsOverview Introduction Solidification processes References PART 1 FUNDAMENTALS AND MACROSCALE PHENOMENA Thermodynamics Introduction Thermodynamics of unary systems Binary alloys Departure from equilibrium Exercises References Phase diagrams Motivation Binary systems Ternary systems Exercises References Balance Equations Introduction Mass balance Momentum balance Energy balance Solute balance in multicomponent systems Scaling Exercises References Analytical solutions for solidification Introduction Solidification in a superheated melt Solidification in an undercooled melt The effect of curvature Exercises References Numerical methods for solidification Introduction Heat conduction without phase change Heat conduction with phase change Fluid flow Optimization and inverse methods Exercises References PART II MICROSTRUCTURE Nucleation Introduction Homogeneous nucleation Heterogeneous nucleation Mechanisms for grain refinement Exercises References Dendritic growth Introduction Free growth Constrained growth Growth of a needle crystal Convection and dendritic growth Phase-field methods Exercises References Eutectics, peritectics and microstructure selection Introduction Eutectics Peritectics Phase selection and coupled zone Exercises References Microsegregation and homogenization Introduction 1-D microsegregation models for binary alloys Homogenization and solution treatment Multicomponent alloys Exercises References Macro- and microstructures Introduction Equiaxed grains growing in a uniform temperature field Grains nucleating and growing in a thermal gradient Columnar grains Columnar-to-Equiaxed Transition Micro-macroscopic models Exercises References PART III DEFECTS Porosity Introduction Governing equations Interdendritic fluid flow and pressure drop Thermodynamics of gases in solution Nucleation and growth of pores Boundary conditions Application of the concepts Exercises References Deformation during solidification and hot tearing Introduction Thermomechanics of castings Deformation of the mushy zone Hot tearing Hot tearing criteria and models Exercises References Macrosegregation Introduction Macrosegregation during planar front solidification Composition field and governing equations Macrosegregation induced by solidification shrinkage Macrosegragation induced by fluid flow Macrosegregation induced by solid movement Exercises References
