The Failure Analysis Society This affiliate society is dedicated to advancing the important role failure analysis plays in the materials science industry. FAS provides collaboration, networking, and educational opportunities for materials science professionals. 8 FAI LURE ANALYSIS Understanding How Components Fail, 3rd Edition By Donald J. Wulpi Edited by Brett Miller 2013 • 310 pages ISBN: 978-1-62708-014-9 Product Code: 05363G Price: $177 / ASM Member: $135 This new edition of the classic best seller preserves the content from previous editions – focusing on the metallurgical and materials evaluation for failure mode identification. Basic principles and practices are clearly explained. This is one of the first books new engineers and technicians should read. BEST SELLER METALLOGRAPHY & MATERIALS CHARACTERIZATION Inspection of Metals: Understanding the Basics Edited by F.C. Campbell 2013 • 487 pages ISBN: 978-1-62708-000-2 Product Code: 05372G Price: $187 / ASM Member: $135 Emphasizes final part inspection at the manufacturing facility or on receipt at the user’s facility. Provides an intermediate level overview to the different methods used to inspect metals and finished parts and a more detailed review of the specific inspection methods for important metal product forms. The advantages and limitations of each method are discussed, including when other methods may be warranted. Chapters on specific product forms (e.g., castings) compare the different inspection methods and why they are used. Metallography: Principles and Practice By G. Vander Voort 1984 • 752 pages ISBN: 978-0-87170-672-0 Product Code: 06785G Price: $177 / ASM Member: $135 A proven reference work for metallographers, engineers, and technicians as well as students. Thoroughly referenced and well-illustrated with an extensive collection of micrographs and macrographs. Light Microscopy of Carbon Steels By L.E. Samuels 1999 • 502 pages ISBN: 978-0-87170-655-3 Product Code: 06656G Price: $237 / ASM Member: $175 “How to” book gives everyday working examples and discusses the relationship between the constitution, properties, and microstructure of various carbon steel products. Over 1,200 micrographs and 90 other figures. Metallographic Polishing by Mechanical Methods, 4th Edition By L.E. Samuels 2003 • 345 pages ISBN: 978-0-87170-779-6 Product Code: 06964G Price: $157 / ASM Member: $115 Failure Analysis of Heat Treated Steel Components Edited by L.C.F. Canale, R.A. Mesquita and G.E.

Joshi, and Rajendra Kumar 2018 • Approximately 500 pages ISBN: 978-1-62708-156-6 Product Code: 05243G Price: $220 / ASM Member: $165 Prepublication price: $199 / ASM Member: $149 Prepublication price good through August 31, 2018! Failures or forced shutdowns in power plants are often due to boilers, and particularly failure of boiler tubes. This book covers properties and selection of materials for boiler tubes, damage mechanisms responsible for failure of boiler tubes, and characterization techniques employed for investigating failures of boiler tubes in thermal power plants and utility boilers of industrial/commercial/institutional (ICI) boilers that lead to forced outages. A large number of case studies based on the actual failures from the field are described, along with photographs and microstructures to allow for easy comprehension of the theory behind the failures. The authors have long standing experience in the field of metallurgy and materials technology, failure investigation, remaining life assessment (RLA) and fitness for service (FFS) for industrial plant and equipment, including power plants.
