铬含量高达30%、镍含量在0%至35%之间的含铜不锈钢的物理、冶金和焊接性能、相关系、热加工性能、耐腐蚀性、时效硬化特性、锰、硅、钼、炭黑、钛、钨、铍、钒等的影响。还包括列出各种专利和商用合金的详细表格。 虽然有相当数量的含铜不锈钢是商业生产的，但文献中关于它们的报道很少。此外，已经发布的信息往往极具争议性。因此，讨论类似合金的不同作者报告了相当多的分歧。 在某种程度上，这种信息的缺乏是由于某些物理冶金现象造成的，这些现象通常被误解，只发生在这些合金中，而在由A.I.S.I.类型编号指定的更常用的标准不锈钢中没有经历过 由于大多数含铜不锈钢都具有某些有用的功能，因此，人们试图讨论并关联这些合金，并且可能利用有限且有争议的信息。然而，还需要更多关于这些合金的信息和数据。 为了按逻辑顺序讨论这个有争议的主题，最初的章节简要讨论了铜在普通钢中的作用。 然后，在介绍了镍、铬和其他元素的附加效应之后，详细讨论了各种类型的含铜不锈钢。

Physical, metallurgical and welding properties of copper-bearing stainless steels containing up to 30% chromium and between 0 and 35% nickel, phase relations, hot-working properties, corrosion resistance, age-hardening characteristics, effects of Mn, Si, Mo, Cb, Ti, W, Be, V, etc. Detailed tables listing the various patented and commercial alloys are also included. Although a considerable number of copper-bearing stainless steels are produced commercially, very little has been reported about them in the literature. Moreover, the information that has been published is often highly controversial. Thus, considerable disagreements are reported by different authors who discuss similar alloys. In part this lack of information is due to certain, often misunderstood, physical metallurgical phenomena that occur only in these alloys and are not experienced in the more commonly used standard stainless steels designated by A.I.S.I. Type numbers Since most of the copper-bearing stainless steels serve certain useful functions, an attempt has been made to discuss and correlate these alloys as well as was possible with the limited and controversial information available. Nevertheless, additional information and data on many of these alloys are needed. To discuss this controversial subject in a logical sequence, the initial sections discuss briefly the effects of copper in ordinary steels. Then, after the additional effects of nickel, chromium, and of other elements have been introduced, the various types of copper-bearing stainless steels are discussed in detail.
