Heat treating book recomendation?

[Wade BeattyParticipant @wadebeatty78296]

Good afternoon,

 

I am looking for a book on heat treatment (hardening/tempering) that is practical rather than fully theoretical. Any recomendations welcome. Also links to other forums or sites with info welcome

Have a good weekend

Tubal Cain (Tom Walshaw) was a very talented model engineer, professional engineer and college lecturer.  All his books are authoritative but pitched towards the home engineer, including the one below:

Hardening, Tempering and Heat Treatment: Tubal Cain

Thoroughly recommended,

Rod

Yes WP No1 for me as well

Hi, I also have WP1, and it has a very accurate colour chart for tempering on page 36, among other things.

Regards Nick.
