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.
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.
HNC/D students in mechanical and production engineering. First and second year undergraduates studying metallurgy, materials science and mechanical engineering.
Some fundamental chemistry * The physical and mechanical properties of metals and alloys * The crystalline structure of metals * Mechanical deformation and recovery * Fracture of metals * The industrial shaping of metals * An introduction to steel * The formation of alloys * Thermal equilibrium diagrams * Practical metallography * The heat-treatment of plain carbon steels (1) * The heat-treatment of plain carbon steels (II) * Alloy steels * Complex ferrous alloys * Cast irons and alloy cast irons * Copper and the copper-base alloys * Aluminium and its alloys * Other non-ferrous metals and alloys * The surface hardening of steels * Metallurgical principles of the joining of metals * Metallic corrosion and its prevention * Answers to numerical problems * Index.
