Books by Keyword: Physical Metallurgy

Description: The primary objective of the 9th International Conference on Advanced Materials, Mechanics and Structural Engineering (9th AMMSE 2022, South Korea, December 16-18, 2022) was to provide a world-class forum for the exchange of original ideas, new information and the latest research results in the area of material science and engineering technology.

Description: This special edition is devoted to an analysis of the results of developing modern technologies and materials for many branches of the industrial sphere and the presented articles will be useful to many engineers and researchers involved in this area.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).
Metals, because of their inherent properties, have been in service to mankind from the Early Periods. Metal craft started turning into metal science in the 19th Century and got matured in 20th century. The present book, to the best of author’s memory, is the first attempt to present the history of metal science in one volume, covering both extractive and physical metallurgy. The book is aimed as a supplementary text book for students in metallurgy and materials science and also selectively for general readers. After a brief introduction (Chapter 1), the second and third chapters are devoted to extractive metallurgy. The chapters related to physical metallurgy (4th to 6th) are written in a sequence such that the description of structures is given first, before highlighting the properties of metals and alloys. The final chapter ‘Future Trends’ highlights various topics in contemporary metal science.

Description: This publication is based upon lectures given during a well-received course on physical metallurgy and originally intended for students specializing in fields related to metallic materials. But, as the author points out, metallic materials are the most widely investigated group of materials and their study therefore gives a good basis for understanding how other materials can be made to reveal interrelationships between their structures and properties; especially with regard to those properties associated with strain. Similar types of rule can then be applied to other materials, in spite of their apparent differences.
