Mechanical Metallurgy: Principles and Application

This book is a comprehensive treatment of structure-mechanical property relationships in metals with a four-pronged approach: Mechanics of Deformation; Metallurgy of Deformation; Strengthening Mechanisms; Mechanical Testing of Metals.

Among its special features, the book :

* Describes such areas of contemporary importance as rapid-solidification technology, metal-matrix composites, dual-phase steels, mechanical alloying, and the finite-element method;
Introduces important advances made in understanding structure-mechanical property relationships
Illustrates fundamental concepts by applications and technological developments;
provides in-depth coverage of mechanical testing of metals.
