The progress of civilization can be, in part, attributed to their ability to employ metallurgy. This book is an introduction to multiple facets of physical metallurgy, materials science, and engineering. As all metals are crystalline in structure, attention is focussed on these structures, and how the formation of these crystals is responsible for certain aspects of the material’s chemical and physical behaviour. Concepts in Physical Metallurgy: Concise lecture notes also discusses the mechanical properties of metals, the theory of alloys, and physical metallurgy of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys.
It provides a concise and effective way to understand and realize the behavior of metals from an atomic level. Each chapter is well written and nicely illustrated to clearly convey essential information. There is a bibliography at the end of each chapter for more in-depth study.
