Introduction to Engineering Materials - George Murray - Bog

Completely revised and updated, Introduction to Engineering Materials, Second Edition elucidates the fundamental science behind the classification of materials and their property limits in terms of temperature, strength, ductility, corrosion, and physical behavior, while emphasizing materials processing, selection, and property measurement methods. The book presents a balanced overview of the theoretical-scientific and practical-technical aspects of materials engineering. It discusses atomic structure and bonds, imperfections in crystalline materials, ceramics, polymers, composites, electronic materials, environmental degradation, materials selection, and more.
