Physical Metallurgy Principles

Physical Metallurgy Principles

This comprehensive, student friendly text is intended for use in an introductory course in physical metallurgy and is designed for all engineering students at the junior or senior level. The approach is largely theoretical but all aspects of physical metallurgy and behavior of metals and alloys are covered. The treatment used in this textbook is in harmony with a more fundamental approach to engineering education. An extensive revision has been done to insure that the content remains the standard for metallurgy engineering courses worldwide.About the AuthorReza Abbaschian received his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley in 1971.
