Physical Metallurgy

This book combines theoretical concepts, real alloy systems, processing procedures, and examples of real-world applications. It reviews properties common to all metals before discussing specific nonferrous alloy systems, iron-carbon alloys, special steels and low carbon sheet steel, and cast irons. Concluding chapters treat powder metallurgy, corrosion, welding and magnetic alloys. There are appendices on microstructural analysis, stereographic projection, and the Miller-Bravais system...
More Description

This book combines theoretical concepts, real alloy systems, processing procedures, and examples of real-world applications. It reviews properties common to all metals before discussing specific nonferrous alloy systems, iron-carbon alloys, special steels and low carbon sheet steel, and cast irons. Concluding chapters treat powder metallurgy, corrosion, welding and magnetic alloys. There are appendices on microstructural analysis, stereographic projection, and the Miller-Bravais system for hexagonal crystals. Physical Metallurgy uses engaging historical and contemporary examples that relate to the applications of concepts in each chapter, ample references and sample problems throughout. This text is a superb tool for any advanced materials science course.
