Features: This book focuses on the properties and material selection of commonly used materials in process equipment, divided into three parts. The content includes fundamental metallurgy, phase diagrams, heat treatment and strengthening modification, alloying, metallic properties and material selection, failure and material relationships, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, material databases and expert systems, plastics and rubbers, ceramics and composite materials, etc.
Part 1 elaborates on the fundamentals of metallic materials, emphasizing the relationship between microstructure and macroscopic properties, as well as the connection between metal strengthening and modification and microstructure.
Part 2 explains the properties and material selection principles of commonly used metallic materials in process equipment, with a focus on the properties, failure, and material selection of ferrous metals, while also introducing the properties and material selection of non-ferrous metals. It highlights material selection and case studies for pressure vessels, high-temperature and low-temperature equipment, pipelines, rotating parts, corrosion and wear in process equipment, and the environment of process equipment. To adapt to the information superhighway, a chapter on "Material Databases and Material Selection Expert Systems" has been included.
Part 3 briefly explains the characteristics and material selection applications of non-metallic materials, with a focus on plastics, ceramics, and fiberglass used in process equipment. Additionally, it discusses the preparation and properties of polymer alloys and composite materials, elaborating on the ideas of material modification and material compounding.
This book primarily serves as a core textbook for students majoring in Process Equipment and Control Engineering. It can also be used by students in food machinery, light industry machinery, and pharmaceutical machinery. Additionally, it serves as a reference for engineering and technical personnel involved in the design and manufacturing of process equipment.
