Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction -- Atomic structure and interatomic bonding -- Structure of crystalline solids -- Imperfections in solids -- Diffusion -- Mechanical properties of metals -- Dislocations and strengthening mechanisms -- Failure -- Phase diagrams -- Phase transformations: development of microstructure and alterations of mechanical properties -- Applications and processing metal alloys -- Structures and properties of ceramics -- Applications and processing of ceramics -- Polymer structures -- Characteristics, applications and processing of polymers -- Composites -- Corrosion and degradation of materials -- Electrical properties -- Thermal properties -- Magnetic properties -- Optical properties -- Economic, environment and societal issues in materials science and engineering.
Building on the success of previous editions, this book continues to provide engineers with a strong understanding of the three primary types of materials and composites, as well as the relationships that exist between the structural elements of materials and their properties. The relationships among processing, structure, properties, and performance components for steels, glass-ceramics, polymer fibers, and silicon semiconductors are explored throughout the chapters. The discussion of the construction of crystallographic directions in hexagonal unit cells is expanded. At the end of each chapter, engineers will also find revised summaries and new equation summaries to reexamine key concepts.
