A comprehensive materials technology text for college and undergraduate students, Engineering Materials Technology deals with the principles and practical considerations that underlie the informed selection of materials in mechanical and production engineering. The third edition has been revised and expanded to provide full coverage of the new BTEC HNC/HND syllabus from Edexcel. In particular, coverage of the electrical and magnetic properties of materials has been added, which is not currently included in most competing titles. A clear, concise text is supported by numerous diagrams, examples and problems. In the third edition answers to the problems are provided for the first time. The book also appears in a new larger paper size with an accessible, student-friendly page layout.

This introductory text is intended to provide undergraduate engineering students with the background needed to understand the science of structure-property relationships, as well as address the engineering concerns of materials selection in design. A computer diskette is included.

The unique design of this book provides many helpful features for a sound and proven approach to learning about modern materials science and technology. Interesting case studies, applications, and illustrations, with numerous sample problems and activities, have been provided to facilitate the learning process. The book's extensive index and handy tables qualifies it as a useful "ready reference", on the job or elsewhere. You will learn about engineering materials and many associated topics through an integrated approach centering around innovative trends in design and manufacturing that often focus on environmentally friendly processes and products. Special strategies and clear explanations clarify the relationships among the major facets of materials technology.

For one/two-term courses in Introductory Engineering Materials in departments of civil engineering. Applies the rigor of material science principles to a comprehensive, integrative exploration of the science and technology of construction materials.

Provides a thorough explanation of the basic properties of materials; of how these can be controlled by processing; of how materials are formed, joined and finished; and of the chain of reasoning that leads to a successful choice of material for a particular application. The materials covered are grouped into four classes: metals, ceramics, polymers and composites. Each class is studied in turn, identifying the families of materials in the class, the microstructural features, the processes or treatments used to obtain a particular structure and their design applications. The text is supplemented by practical case studies and example problems with answers, and a valuable programmed learning course on phase diagrams.

This book gives a broad introduction to the properties of materials used in engineering applications, and is intended to provide a course in engineering materials for students with no previous background in the subject.
