Elements of Metallurgy and Engineering Alloys provides thorough and systematic coverage of basic metallurgy and the practical engineering aspects of metallic material selection and application. The coverage of the book includes practical information on the engineering properties and applications of steels, cast irons, nonferrous alloys, and metal matrix composites; concise overviews and practical implications of metallic structure, imperfections, deformation, and phase transformations; process metallurgy of solidification and casting, recovery, recrystallization and grain growth, and precipitation hardening; mechanical deformation during processing; in-service properties of fatigue, fracture, and creep; and physical properties and corrosion.
