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.

Key features

An accessible, non-mathematical, approach to the subject.Introduces the student to the fundamentals of basic chemistry which are essential to the understanding of the topic.Relates theory to commercial alloys and real applications.

Readership

HNC/D students in mechanical and production engineering. First and second year undergraduates studying metallurgy, materials science and mechanical engineering.
