Description
Physical Metallurgy, Sixth Edition preserves the excellence of the previous editions of this popular work, keeping everything up-to-date and offering definitive, in-depth chapters with superb coverage and clarity of explanations. The book provides comprehensive and in-depth coverage of both ferrous and non-ferrous materials, written by leaders in the respective field, going from fundamental and foundational understanding to a higher level of knowledge. The book expertly integrates fundamental theory with advanced materials characterization techniques. It is an excellent resource for students and early-career metallurgists, while also offering great depth and insight for more experienced readers.The chapters have been revised and expanded, with new chapters on the physical metallurgy of light alloys and titanium alloys, as well as atom probe field ion microscopy, computational metallurgy, and orientational imaging microscopy. Emphasis on sustainability is encouraged throughout, and the volumes incorporate the latest experimental research results and theoretical insights.- Provides a comprehensive resource that assists in our understanding of the relationship between the (micro) structure and physical extensive properties of metals- Exhaustively synthesizes pertinent, contemporary developments within physical metallurgy so scientists have authoritative information at their fingertips- Enables metallurgists to predict changes and create novel alloys and processes- Covers new and important areas of metallurgy including high entropy alloys, computational materials science, additively manufactured alloys, and the use of alloys in biomaterials modeling and simulation
