This textbook on metallurgy and materials is ideally used as an introductory book for both materials science and metallurgy courses and for students whose majors are closely related, such as quality control, machine tool technology, welding technology, and many others. Practical Metallurgy and Materials of Industry, Sixth Edition, 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.
The book is intended to be easy to read. We make an effort to explain complex metallurgical terms in clear, practical language within the text. An extensive glossary is also included.
