Features: The images in this atlas offer a fresh perspective, ranging from macro to micro, with increasingly detailed clarity. The shooting angles of the images achieve a perfect blend of scientific and artistic qualities, making them aesthetically pleasing and innovative. Many of the photos are rarely known, showcasing the microscopic wonders of the metal world to readers. This atlas is suitable for metallurgists, material scientists, quality inspectors, and faculty and students at higher education institutions, as well as for collection by libraries at all levels. It is a comprehensive technical guide that introduces the application of special steel microstructures. The book is divided into five chapters, covering topics such as the surface micrographs of special steels and their metallographic micrographs. The atlas presents a novel perspective, featuring many rarely-seen photos and pioneering major discoveries, showcasing the world of microscopic wonders.
The book is divided into five chapters:
Chapter 1 is the Atlas of Surface Defects in Special Steel Billets, introducing the morphological and microscopic characteristics of 12 types of billet surface defects. It explores the relationship between billet surface defects and four key stages: ingot quality, hot charging, heating speed, and rolling methods, proposing measures to improve surface quality.
Chapter 2 is the Atlas of Metallographic Structures of Special Steels, systematically introducing the metallographic structures, macrodefects, and microdefects of eight major types of special steels.
Chapter 3 introduces the Atlas of Non-metallic Inclusions in Steel, including oxides, silicates, aluminates, sulfides, and nitrides.
Chapter 4 is the Atlas of Fracture Surfaces of Special Steels, covering the characteristics and mechanisms of ductile fracture, brittle fracture, and fatigue fracture.
Chapter 5 is the Atlas of Single Crystals of Manganese Sulfide in Steel. The discovery of manganese sulfide single crystals was recognized by experts at the 4th Asia-Pacific Electron Microscopy Academic Conference as the first major international discovery.
