"...this edition of the textbook has dropped the coverage of such materials as polymers, ceramics, biomaterials, sports materials, and nano-materials that appeared in earlier edition. The focus returns to the original physical metallurgy, and the material has been rearranged so that separate chapter deal with solidification, point defect behavior, interfaces and grain boundaries, precipitation hardening, and other matters." --ProtoView.com, January 2014
Modern Physical Metallurgy describes, in a very readable form, the fundamental principles of physical metallurgy and the basic techniques available for the assessment of microstructure. This book will enable the student to understand the properties and applications of metals and alloys at a deeper level than an introductory materials course may provide. The 8th Edition of this classic text has been updated to provide more balanced coverage of physical and mechanical properties, characterisation, phase transformations, crystal defects, corrosion and surface treatment, as well as updated illustrations and extensive new real-world examples and homework problems.
