PREFACE

Stainless steel, termed as ‘miracle metal’ is all around us in numerous applications
ranging from everyday household items to sophisticated biomedical applications. In earlier
days, stainless steel was used to produce the finest, the most durable products that money can
buy at that time and was only accessible by the upper class of the society. With time, both the
production and the application of stainless steel increase as well as its availability to wider
people. The unique combination of corrosion resistance and retention of strength in a range of
temperatures, from cryogenic to high temperature, expand the dramatic increase in the use of
stainless steel. The discoveries of the stainless steel date back in early 1900’s and still in high
demand around the industries. Subsequent research on composition, structure properties and
role of alloying elements leads to the discovery of various categories of stainless steel suitable
for specific applications. Upon its discovery, the next significant development of stainless
steel occurs at mid 1900’s by the development of argon-oxygen decarburization process
which leads to the nitrogen alloyed and duplex grade stainless tell. As a result of such
significant development and worldwide demand, stainless steel is one of fastest growing
segments in metal industries. Taking those facts into accounts, the present initiative ‘Stainless
Steel: Microstructure, Mechanical Properties and Methods of Application’ is an attempt to
compile the recent developments in the properties, applications and further processing of
stainless steel by various surface treatment processes and recent research trends. The present
book include the high-tech characterization techniques of stainless steel to address the
decomposition behaviour; decomposition –induced transformation to correlated the property-
microstructure; powder metallurgy to produce difficult to cast stainless steel components,
depassivation/repassivation behaviour, surface treatment as well as wide range of machining
techniques to address the need the of machinibility of stainless steel.
