Description
Book SynopsisOffers coverage of processes applied to a myriad of solid materials. This book presents the fundamentals of materials processing by emphasizing the processing-structure-property relationship.
Trade Review"Rich in data, yet accessible across several fields, this volume provides scientists, engineers and students with a one-stop resource on proven and promising new developments in materials processing."
– In Heat Processing, 2007, Issue 3
"The editors have succeeded in achieving their goal of a wide-ranging "one-stop" reference in materials processing for a variety of advanced engineering materials. They have brought together world-class experts in materials processing to convey the principles and applications of not only conventional engineering materials, but also new and novel materials as well. The publication is of high quality and the technical content will be of interest to engineers, scientists, and students."
