Practical Metallurgy and Materials of Industry, 5th Edition

This practical introduction to engineering materials/metallurgy maintains a low mathematical level designed for two-year technical programs and four year engineering technology. The easy-to-read, highly accessible Fifth Edition now includes many of the latest industry processes that change the physical and mechanical properties of materials and is highly recommended as a “materials processing” reference handbook in support of Design, Process, Electrical and Chemical technicians and engineers. Math theory is minimized and the appreciation of theory is emphasized.
