A Heat Treaters Book Guide

by Daniel H. Herring

Posted: July 30, 2006

When it comes to understanding any subject, and in particular heat treating,

having reference material you can trust is invaluable. Over the years we have
talked with a number of extremely knowledgeable heat treaters and metallurgists
and from these discussions, we have compiled the following list of our “favorites.”
Newer editions may exist, but exercise caution to ensure their contents are equal
to or better than the originals. No heat treat library is complete without them.
Let’s learn more.
