Engineering Materials 2: An Introduction to Microstructures and Processing

by Michael F. Ashby, David R.H. Jones

"Engineering Materials 2" is one of the leading self-contained texts for more advanced students of materials science and mechanical engineering. The book provides a concise introduction to the microstructures and processing of materials and shows how these are related to the properties required in engineering design. As with previous editions, each chapter is designed to provide the content of one 50-minute lecture. The fourth edition has been updated to include new case studies, more worked examples, links to relevant websites and video clips. Other changes include an increased emphasis on the relationship between structure, processing and properties, and integration of the popular tutorial on phase diagrams into the main text.

"Engineering Materials 2, Fourth Edition" is perfect as a stand-alone text for an advanced course in engineering materials or a second text with its companion "Engineering Materials 1: An Introduction to Properties, Applications, and Design, Fourth Edition" in a two-semester course or sequence.
Many new or revised applications-based case studies and examplesTreatment of phase diagrams integrated within the main textIncreased emphasis on the relationship between structure, processing and properties, in both conventional and innovative materialsFrequent worked examples - to consolidate, develop, and challengeMany new photographs and links to Google Earth, websites, and video clipsAccompanying companion site with access to instructors' resources, including a suite of interactive materials science tutorials, a solutions manual, and an image bank of figures from the book
