Introduction to Engineering Materials

The third edition of this highly successful text is aimed at undergraduates. It consists of five main sections: materials science, engineering materials, forming and fabrication of materials, behaviour in service, and evaluation of materials. Principle changes from the second edition include: an introductory chapter outlining the range of materials, their basic characteristics, costs and availability; an enlarged materials science section; increased coverage of polymers, ceramics and glasses; and new chapters on material removal processes and non-destructive testing.
