However, I have endeavored to keep the same consistency and rigor of coverage as well as be true to the original vision that we had for this text as a way of serving the heat treatment industry so that this book will be a value resource to the reader in the future. Howes, who helped to bring the first edition of Steel Heat Treatment Handbook into fruition was unable to assist in the preparation of this second edition. Unfortunately, my close friend, colleague and mentor, Dr. This new text is current with respect to heat treatment technology at this point at the beginning of the 21st century and is considerably broader in coverage but with the same depth and thoroughness that characterized the first edition.
