Synopsis
“Materials Science in Manufacturing” focuses on materials science and materials processing primarily for engineering and technology students preparing for careers in manufacturing. The text also serves as a useful reference on materials science for the practitioner engaged in manufacturing as well as the beginning graduate student.Integrates theoretical understanding and current practices to provide a resource for students preparing for advanced study or career in industry. Also serves as a useful resource to the practitioner who works with diverse materials and processes, but is not a specialist in materials science. This book covers a wider range of materials and processes than is customary in the elementary materials science books.This book covers a wider range of materials and processes than is customary in the elementary materials science books.
* Detailed explanations of theories, concepts, principles and practices of materials and processes of manufacturing through richly illustrated text* Includes new topics such as nanomaterials and nanomanufacturing, not covered in most similar works* Focuses on the interrelationship between Materials Science, Processing Science, and Manufacturing Technology
