ASM Handbook Volume 22B Metals Process Simulation

ASM Handbook是金属及材料工程学上的最具权威性的参考资源。数据库内容是根据1923年出版至今，有75年的历史的ASM Handbook(即早先的Metals Handbook)，是由ASM International出版。已出版了21册，共计17000页，包含了1800篇学科专家的专文。本系列的数据主要是着眼于金属材料﹐特别是钢材，的制造的过程以及制造成分，但对于非金属材料的相关数据如塑料等也在近几年陆续新增。ASM Handbook为本书唯一的电子数据库版本, 提供了完整﹑值得信赖的参考数据﹐对于工程师﹑技师﹑学者及学生都是十分重要且必备的参考资料。 
　　透过ASM Handbook可以了解：各种器具的制造过程，最适合使用的材料、制造流程中的相关深度讯息、哪些材料经过质量验证的程序等等信息。

Publication of Volume 22B, Metals Process Simulation, completes an ambitious undertaking begun in 2007 to compile an all-new, comprehensive reference resource on modeling as it applies to metals processing. The first part, Volume 22A, Fundamentals of Modeling for Metals Processing, was pub-ished in 2009.
Many of the sections in this Volume will be familiar to ASM Handbook users, as they have been covered extensively across the ASM Handbook series: phase diagrams, casting and solidification, forming, machining, powder metallurgy, joining, heat treatment, and design. This Volume interprets these subjects in the interdisciplinary context of modeling, simulation, and computational engineering.
The high cost of capital investment in manufacturing can be mitigated by modeling and simulating he options. The effects of processing on materials can be tested and understood through modeling.
This Volume and its companion, Volume 22A, provide materials engineers and scientists with the information they need to understand the potential and advantages of modeling and simulation and to provide them with the tools they need to work with the modeling experts.
When the first ASM Handbook was published in 1923 by ASM International’s predecessor, the
American Society for Steel Treaters, the computational tools of choice were a slide rule, paper, pencil, and data tables- -all conveniently sized to slip into a lab coat pocket. Today, computational tools are
almost entirely software based, although some handheld electronics are also conveniently sized to slip into a lab coat pocket. Many of the basic concerns between then and now are the same: how to control properties during processing, how to minimize waste, how to maintain quality, and so on. Additional contemporary concerns include automated manufacturing, new alloys, new applications such as aero- space and medical devices, environmental responsibility, tracking, and so on.
ASM International is indebted to co-editors David Furrer and S. Lee Semiatin for their vision and leadership in bringing Volumes 22A and 22B to completion. The many authors and reviewers who worked on these V olumes shared that vision. Unlike the subjects about which they wrote, a technical article cannot be modeled or simulated; it must take tangible form as text and images, and this V olume is the direct result of the contributors’ generosity in sharing their time and expertise.
That first ASM Handbook was published as a loose -leaf collection of data sheets assembled in a leather- bound binder. Today’s ASM Handbooks are available online, in hardcover, or as DVDs. Times have changed, and ASM International continues to provide the quality information that materials science professionals need to chart the course of the future for their industries.
