Physical Metallurgy

Book Description

Physical Metallurgy describes the microstructure, transformation and properties of metallic materials using solid state physics and chemical thermodynamics. The author also treats experimental methods of physical metallurgy. The third edition includes new sections on the permeation of hydrogen in metals, the Landau theory of martensitic transformation, and order hardening and plasticity of intermetallics. The author has brought numerous other sections up to date in the light of new developments such as scanning tunneling microscopy, CALPHAD-method, diffusion in glasses, DIGM, and recrystallization. His clear and concise coverage of a remarkably wide range of topics will appeal both to physics students at the threshold of their metallurgical careers and to metallurgists who are interested in the physical foundation of their field./p>

Reviews From AMAZON.COM

This book is a FANTASTIC reference text

One look through the index will show you all you want to know. Check out this list of random buzz words from metallurgy and physics:Phonon Spectra, Rutherford backscattering, Spinodal decomposition, TEM bright field imaging, magnetic susceptibility, Kikuchi patterns, Phase diagrams, Van der Waals bond...

Isn't that great? For anybody doing any sort of work related to metallurgy, this text represents an excellent source for information that is general enough for daily use, but specific enough to be useful. Every chapter is very well written and can stand alone without the rest of the text. There are several volumes to this text, I believe, so be sure to find all of them.
