This practical reference provides thorough and systematic coverage on both basic metallurgy and the practical engineering aspects of metallic material selection and application.
Coverage includes:
- Practical information on the engineering properties and applications of steels, cast irons, nonferrous alloys, and metal matrix composites.
- Concise overviews and practical implications of metallic structure, imperfections, deformation, and phase transformations
- Process metallurgy of solidification and casting, recovery, recrystallization and grain growth, precipitation hardening
- Mechanical deformation during processing and in-service properties of fatigue, fracture, and creep.
- Physical properties and corrosion.
