Engineering Materials 2, Fourth Edition, is one of the leading
self-contained texts for more advanced students of materials science and
mechanical engineering. It provides a concise introduction to the
microstructures and processing of materials, and shows how these are
related to the properties required in engineering design.
Each chapter is designed to provide the content of one 50-minute
lecture. This updated version includes new case studies, more worked
examples; links to Google Earth, websites, and video clips; and a
companion site with access to instructors' resources: solution manual,
image bank of figures from the book, and a section of interactive
materials science tutorials. Other changes include an increased emphasis
on the relationship between structure, processing, and properties, and
the integration of the popular tutorial on phase diagrams into the main
text.
The book is perfect as a stand-alone text for an advanced course in
engineering materials or a second text with its companion Engineering
Materials 1: An Introduction to Properties, Applications, and Design,
Fourth Edition in a two-semester course or sequence.
