Engineering Metallurgy - Applied Physical Metallurgy

Description

This well-established text provides a simple treatment of applied physical metallurgy that will be invaluable to all those studying metallurgy as a principal or subsidiary subject.Introduces a number of new topics, such as rapid solidification processed, high temperature surface protection, Lithium-Aluminium alloys and micro-alloyed steels. Many new materials are included and recent developments in corrosion protection are covered. The environmental effects of steelmaking are examined as well as the effect of the environment on metals.
