Extensively revised for this fourth edition, Selection of a unique and genuinely innovative resource.

Features new to this edition
* Material property charts now in full color throughout
* Significant revisions of chapters on the subject of the process of hallmark structure and subject content
* Fully revised chapters on hybrid materials and the environment
* Appendix on data and information for engineering materials
* Revised and expanded end-of-chapter exercises and additional worked examples

Materials are introduced through their properties; materials selection charts (also available on line). Merit indices, combined with charts, allow optimization of the materials selection process. Sources of material property is being reviewed. Material processing and its influence. New chapters on environmental issues, industrial engineering and materials, as well as online Instructor's Manual. New case studies have been developed into the practical implementation of the text.
