Opis

The book focuses on the processing-structure-properties triangle as it applies to metals and alloys. The first part deals with structure and change of structure through phase transformations. The second part deals with plastic deformation, strengthening mechanisms and mechanical properties as they relate to structure. The book includes a chapter on physical metallurgy of steels as a case study for application of the fundamental principles discussed. The final chapter introduces computational tools, involving computational thermodynamics and kinetics, to perform alloy design and the procedure is demonstrated with several examples and case studies.
