Phase Transformations in Metals and Alloys

by Kenneth E. Easterling, David A. Porter

In the decade since the first edition of this popular text was published, the metallurgical field has undergone rapid developments in many sectors. Nonetheless, the underlying principles governing these developments remain the same. A textbook that presents these advances within the context of the fundamentals is greatly needed by instructors in the field

Phase Transformations in Metals and Alloys, Second Edition maintains the simplicity that undergraduate instructors and students have come to appreciate while updating and expanding coverage of recently developed methods and materials. The book is effectively divided into two parts. The beginning chapters contain the background material necessary for understanding phase transformations - thermodynamics, kinetics, diffusion theory and the structure and properties of interfaces. The following chapters deal with specific transformations - solidification, diffusional transformation in solids and diffusionless transformation. Case studies of engineering alloys are incorporated to provide a link between theory and practice. New additions include an extended list of further reading at the end of each chapter and a section containing complete solutions to all exercises in the book

Designed for final year undergraduate and postgraduate students of metallurgy, materials science, or engineering materials, this is an ideal textbook for both students and instructors.

satu2nya buku textbook (yg saya inget) dibaca dari bab awal sampai bab akhir waktu kuliah dulu.
Dan sekarang, mencoba kembali, tak hanya sekedar membaca, tapi memahami bab pertama dari 6 bab dalam buku ini

A very good book on kinetics of materials. A good text for undergrad and graduate course on kinetics processes.
