Synopsis

Provides a thorough explanation of the basic properties of materials; of how these can be controlled by processing; of how materials are formed, joined and finished; and of the chain of reasoning that leads to a successful choice of material for a particular application. The materials covered are grouped into four classes: metals, ceramics, polymers and composites. Each class is studied in turn, identifying the families of materials in the class, the microstructural features, the processes or treatments used to obtain a particular structure and their design applications. The text is supplemented by practical case studies and example problems with answers, and a valuable programmed learning course on phase diagrams.

About this title

Review

"Good. Concise and easy to follow; very good case studies. Recommended for 3rd and 4th year Degree students.

From the Back Cover

Engineering Materials 2 is one of the leading self-contained course texts for more advanced students of materials science and mechanical engineering, and is the companion to the renowned introductory text Engineering Materials 1: An Introduction to Properties, Applications & Design. This book provides a detailed understanding of the fundamental properties of engineering materials: how they are controlled by processing, then formed, joined and finished, and how all of these factors influence the selection and design of materials in real-world engineering applications.

New material and features in the updated third edition include a new chapter on materials failures, expanded design coverage, additional exercises and examples with more real design situations, and an online Instructor's Solutions Manual, plus materials science tutorials.
