An ideal introduction to physical metallurgy, this popular and well-established text offers far more specific information on alloys and steels that comparable general materials books. Placing emphasis very much on applied metallurgy, the author employs a simple, direct style, together with helpful diagrams, to relate theory to commercial alloys and real applications. An accessible, non-mathematical, approach to the subject. Introduces the student to the fundamentals of basic chemistry which are essential to the understanding of the topic. Relates theory to commercial alloys and real applications.
