This treatise on Engineering Materials and Metallurgy contains comprehensive treatment of the matter in simple,lucid and direct language and envelopes a large number of figures which reinforce the text in the most efficient and effective way.The book comprise five chapters(excluding basic concepts)in all and fully and exhaustively covers the syllabus in the above mentioned subject of 4th.Semester Mechnical,Production,Automobile Engineering and 2nd semester Mechnical disciplines of Anna University.

A material is that from which anything can be made. It includes wide range of metals and non-metals that are used to form finished product. The knowledge of materials and their properties is of great significance for a design engineer. Material science is the study of the structure-properties relationship of engineering materials such as ferrous; non-ferrous materials, polymers, ceramics, composites and some advanced materials. Metallurgy is the study of metals related to their extraction from ore, refining, production of alloys along with their properties. The study of material science and metallurgy links the science of metals to the industries. Also this helps in completing demands from new applications and severe service requirements.

We take an opportunity to present 'Material Science'to the students of A.M.I.E.(I)Diploma stream in particular,and other engineering students in general.he object of this book is to present the subject matter in a most concise,compact,to the point and lucis manner.While preparing the book,we have constantly kept in mind the requirments of A.M.I.E(I) students,regarding the latest trend of their examination.To make it really useful for the A.M.I.E.(I) students,the solutions of their complete examination has been written in an easy style,with full detail and illustrations.

Material Science and Metallurgy is presented in a user-friendly language and the diagrams give a clear view and concept. Solved problems, multiple choice questions and review questions are also integral part of the book. The contents of the book ar
