The Science and Engineering of Materials

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 transformations, discussed in respect to ceramics, polymers and metals. Significantly more detailed than earlier editions.
