Covers not only ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys, but also ceramics, composites and construction materials. Many new examples and illustrations are provided and there is greatly expanded coverage of fracture toughness and crack growth rates. Extensive new material on intermetallic compounds, and the kinetics of phase formations, discussed in respect to ceramics, polymers and metals. Significantly more detailed than earlier editions.
Introduction to materials; atomic structure; atomic arrangement; imperfections in the atomic arrangement; atom movement in materials; mechanical testing and properties; strain hardening and annealing; principles of solidification strengthening and processing; solid solution strengthening and phase equilibrium; dispersion strengthening by solidification; dispersion strengthening by phase transformation and heat treatment; ferrous alloys; nonferrous alloys; ceramic materials; polymers; composite materials; construction materials; electrical behaviour of materials; magnetic behaviour of materials; optical behaviour of materials; thermal properties of materials; corrosion and wear; failure - origin, detection and prevention.
