Engineering Materials Technology: Structure, Processing, Properties & Selection

Emphasizing basic concepts and supported by current industrial practices and applications, this readable text/reference on engineering materials is designed to help students develop problem solving abilities in such areas as materials evaluation and selection, materials processes selection, failure analysis, and materials testing. It focuses on materials in the systems context, and prepares students to work with current engineering materials as well as with new and/or improved technologies that influence many aspects of engineering materials technology. Over 200 experiments and demonstrations from the National Educators' Workshops are listed throughout. The new edition provides revised case studies with illustrations of materials applications and highlights new developments. It also contains new/revised solved problems and self-assessment questions, including an extensive database of objective questions (with solutions).
