With China becoming a major force in steels research and development, this book highlights the research of a group from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, led by the first four authors. This group, scientifically, has the best knowledge base for writing this updated book on heat-resistant steels. The fifth author, Sha, in the UK, has been collaborating with the Chinese group since 2009. Sha is an experienced book writer, and is a lead or sole author of four research books, all published in English. The last book, Steels: from materials science to structural engineering, was published by Springer in 2013. Within two months of its publication, researchers at University of Science and Technology Liaoning requested translating the book to Chinese. Springer obliged, and the Chinese version was published by Metallurgical Industry Press, Beijing, in August 2014.
