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 scalesDetails the relationship between imperfect structure and consequencesDiscusses all aspects of structure and complex propertiesCovers the evolution of structure during traumatic processingEngineering aspects are highlighted: the twisting of pearlitic wires, for the safe application of the strongest of ropes in safety-critical scenariosHighlights difficulties and inconsistencies, thereby helping to develop researchAimed 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.
