Description
Description
An ideal introduction to physical metallurgy, this popular and well-established text offers far more specific information on alloys and steels that comparable general materials books. Placing emphasis very much on applied metallurgy, the author employs a simple, direct style, together with helpful diagrams, to relate theory to commercial alloys and real applications.
