Physical Metallurgy and Advanced Materials

Physical Metallurgy and Advanced Materials is a latest edition of the classic book. Published as Modern Physical Metallurgy & Materials Engineering. Fully revised and expanded, this new edition develops on metallurgy and material science.

Intended for senior undergraduates and graduate students. It is suitable for all post-introductory materials.

Key Features:
* Renowned resources of ceramics and polymers.

* Updated coverage of sports materials, biomaterials and nanomaterials.

* Covers new materials characterization techniques, including scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and nanoindentation.

* Easy to navigate with contents into logical groupings: fundamentals, metals and alloys, nonmetals, processing and applications.

* Detailed worked examples with real-world applications.

* Rich pedagogy includes extensive homework exercises, lecture slides and full online solutions manual (coming).
