Material Science

by S.L. Kakani

About the The book has been designed to cover all relevant topics in B.E. (Mechanical/Metallurgy/Material Science/Production Engineering), M.Sc. (Material Science), B.Sc. (Honours), M.Sc. (Physics), M.Sc. (Chemistry), AMIE and Diploma students. Students appearing for GATE, UPSC, NET, SLET and other entrance examinations will also find book quite useful.In Nineteen Chapters, the book deals with atomic structure, the structure of solids; crystal defects; chemical bonding; diffusion in solids; mechanical properties and tests of materials; alloys, phase diagrams and phase transformations; heat treatment; deformation of materials; oxidation and corrosion; electric, magnetic, thermal and optical properties; semiconductors; superconductivity; organic materials; composites; and nanostructured materials.Special Fundamental principles and applications are discussed with explanatory diagrams in a clear way.A full coverage of background topics with latest development is provided.Special chapters on Nanostructured materials, Superconductivity, Semiconductors, Polymers, Composites, Organic materials are given . Solved problems, review questions, problems, short-question answers and typical objective type questions along with suggested readings are given with each Classification and Selection of MaterialsAtomic Structure and Electronic ConfigurationCrystal Geometry, Structure and DefectsBonds in SolidsElectron Theory of MetalsPhotoelectric EffectDiffusion in SolidsMechanical Properties of Materials and Mechanical TestsAlloy Systems, Phase Diagrams and Phase TransformationsHeat TreatmentDeformation of MaterialsOxidation and CorrosionThermal and Optical Properties of Thermal Properties; Optical PropertiesElectrical and Magnetic Properties of Materials Semiconductors Superconductivity and Superconducting Materials Organic Polymers and ElastomersCompositesNanostructured Material
