Industrial Materials covers specific applications and their requirements, then relates those requirements to the properties of various materials to illustrate criteria for appropriate materials selection and techniques for maintaining control over materials properties during processing.
Features:
- The text takes a qualitative rather than quantitative approach to its subject, focusing on the practical aspects of manufacturing materials as they are encountered in the real world.
- The practical, realistic nature of the text is enhanced by the inclusion of dozens of original microstructural and scanning electron micrographs depicting specific properties of specific materials, the effects of mechanical and thermal processing, and the tell-tale signs of defects.
- Coverage of joining and corrosion expands the adaptability of the text for various course structures.
- An extensive glossary helps students learn the nomenclature of materials and metallurgy.
