For over forty years, Materials for Engineers and Technicians has
given thousands of students an easily accessible introduction to
materials engineering and manufacturing processes. This renowned text is
a comprehensive overview of the wide-ranging subject area, written in a
straightforward, readable style. It is devoid of excessive jargon and
mathematical complexity, and retains a practical down-to-earth approach.
This expanded edition references specifications for materials and
materials testing that have been updated to include European-wide
standards of the EU. More applications of materials and case studies
have been included. New content discusses the choice of materials and
processes in relation to 3D printing and the importance of materials
recycling and sustainability. The increased emphasis on the selection of
materials reflects this aspect of materials engineering now seen within
current vocational and university courses.
In addition to meeting the requirements of vocational and undergraduate
engineering syllabuses, this text also serves as a valuable desktop
reference for professional engineers working in product design who
require a quick source of information on materials and manufacturing
processes.
