The Science and Engineering of Materials
by Donald R. Askeland · Donald Askeland
Introductory engineering textbook organised around the structure-processing-properties relationship, with worked design problems on metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites. After working through it a reader can select materials for a component and predict how heat treatment changes performance.
