"Pearlitic steel is the strongest commercially available mass-produced alloy, and pearlite is routinely used for tyre reinforcement in every single road vehicle in the world. Pearlite in Steels is the first book dedicated to pearlitic steels and uniquelycovers the topic in depth to provide readers with comprehensive coverage of fundamentals and advances in this vital and wide-reaching engineered material. Details the relationship between transformations and properties. Discusses all aspects of structureand properties. Covers the twisting of pearlitic wires, particularly important in the creation of the strongest of ropes in large-scale engineering applications. Highlights difficulties and inconsistencies, thereby helping to develop research. Aimed at materials engineers and metallurgists, this book by a leading global authority on the subject offers readers the deepest and broadest overview of pearlite in steels to date"--

Pearlitic steel is the strongest commercially available mass-produced alloy, and pearlite is used in a myriad of applications, from the reinforcement of tyres in every single road vehicle in the world, to the creation of pathways across troubled waters. Pearlite in Steels is the first book dedicated to this vast subject. The book uniquely covers the topic in depth, providing a comprehensive coverage of fundamentals and technologies that make pearlite vital as an engineered material.
Covers the 3D-structure of pearlite over a wide range of length scales.
Details the relationship between imperfect structure and consequences.
Discusses all aspects of structure and complex properties.
Covers the evolution of structure during traumatic processing.
Engineering aspects are highlighted: the twisting of pearlitic wires, for the safe application of the strongest of ropes in safety-critical scenarios.
Highlights difficulties and inconsistencies, thereby helping to develop research.
Aimed at materials engineers and metallurgists, this book by a leading global authority on the subject offers readers the deepest and broadest overview of pearlite in steels to date.
