Structure-Property Relations in Nonferrous Metals |
| Alan Russell (Associate Professor at the Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa); Kok Loong Lee (Corus Construction & Industrial in North Lincolnshire ) |
| A long-awaited text that fills the void in non-ferrous metallurgy literature While most undergraduate metallurgy textbooks focus on iron, the most commercially important metallic element, Structure-Property Relations in Nonferrous Metals is a comprehensive textbook covering the remaining eighty-two nonferrous metals. Designed to be readily accessible to materials engineering students at all academic levels, the text describes the relationships between the atomic-, crystal-, and micro-structures of nonferrous metals, and such physical behaviors as strength, ductility, electrical conductivity, and corrosion.
In order to capture and retain students' interest,
the authors maintain a strong focus on practical application. Each
chapter supplements fundamental concepts with engaging examples from
actual engineering case studies and industrial projects, directly
relating content to real-world application.
Part One describes the general concepts of crystal- and
micro-structures and the implications of these structures for the
mechanical, thermal, and electronic properties of nonferrous metals,
intermetallic compounds, and metal matrix composites.
Chapters focus on such relevant topics as: *Point, line, and planar
defects and their effects on a material's properties *Dislocations
and strengthening mechanisms *Fracture and fatigue *Strain rate
effects and creep *Deviations from classic crystallinity *Processing
methods *Composites and intermetallic compounds
Part Two builds on Part One by exploring how the concepts presented
define the properties of a particular metallic element and its
alloys. | |
