Contents:

Chapter 1. Atoms and atomic arrangements -- chapter 2. Phase diagrams and alloy theory -- chapter 3. Solidification -- chapter 4. Introduction to dislocations -- chapter 5. Characterization and analysis -- chapter 6. Point defect behaviour -- chapter 7. Diffusion -- chapter 8. Physical properties -- chapter 9. Plastic deformation and dislocation behaviour -- chapter 10. Surfaces, grain boundaries and interfaces -- chapter 11. Work hardening and annealing -- chapter 12. Steel transformations -- chapter 13. Precipitation hardening -- chapter 14. Selected alloys -- chapter 15. Creep, fatigue and fracture -- chapter 16. Oxidation, corrosion and surface engineering.

Summary: Modern Physical Metallurgy describes, in a very readable form, the fundamental principles of physical metallurgy and the basic techniques for assessing microstructure. This book enables you to understand the properties and applications of metals and alloys at a deeper level than that provided in an introductory materials course. The eighth edition of this classic text has been updated to provide a balanced coverage of properties, characterization, phase transformations, crystal structure, and corrosion not available in other texts, and includes updated illustrations along with extensive new real-world examples and homework problems.
