Using over two hundred photographs, this handy reference presents forty case histories of actual boiler shutdowns. It explains why each boiler failed under seemingly normal operating conditions and in order to prevent problems in the future, demonstrates ways to trace the
reasons for these breakdowns. The book makes a perfect reference for use in elementary metallurgy courses which teach microstructure heat treatment and phase diagrams, and will also serve as a text/reference for failure analysis topics in college or professional short courses. |
