Description

This introduction to physical metallurgy offers information on alloys and steels. Placing emphasis on applied metallurgy, the author employs a simple, direct style, with diagrams, to relate theory to commercial alloys and real applications. This updated edition gives particular attention to newer materials such as "micro-alloyed" steels, and recent developments in corrosion protection.
