Principles of Physical Metallurgy

Description

This comprehensive, student friendly text is intended for use in an introductory course in physical metallurgy and is designed for all engineering students at the junior or senior level. The approach is largely theoretical but all aspects of physical metallurgy and behavior of metals and alloys are covered. The treatment used in this textbook is in harmony with a more fundamental approach to engineering education. An extensive revision has been done to insure that the content remains the standard for metallurgy engineering courses woreldwide. Features: * Easy to read format successfully communicates the essence of the content presented * Recent references have been incorporated to complement the remaining original references which provide historic context * Sections on nano-structures have been included to demonstrate the applicability of the physical metallurgy principles to current nanotechnology trends About The Author: Reza Abbaschian, University of California, Riverside Lara Abbaschian: The Boston Consulting Group Robert E.
