Engineering Metallurgy

Catalog description

Physical metallurgy of practical engineering alloys as it relates to processing and mechanical properties. Ferrous alloys and selected non-ferrous alloys are covered. Property measurements and other characterization techniques and their meanings. Phase diagrams, heat treatment and structure-property processing relationships in practical steels, cast irons, and aluminum alloys. Laboratory measurement of properties and microstructure: tensile strength, optical metallography, impact toughness, statistical nature of strength, plastic strain anisotropy in sheet metal.
