Metallurgy Fundamentals: Ferrous and Nonferrous Seventh Edition

Metallurgy Fundamentals provides instruction and information on the basic properties, characteristics, and production of the major metal families. The text emphasizes the theoretical and practical aspects of metallurgy and explores the behavior of metals subjected to metallurgical processes. Clear, concise language and numerous full-color photos, illustrations, tables and diagrams make this an easy-to-understand text for students in introductory metallurgy courses. The section on nonferrous metallurgy discusses the processes used to create nonferrous metals, as well as the modern uses of nonferrous alloys. This new edition provides up-to-date metallurgy coverage of current topics, including additive manufacturing, powder metallurgy, noble and rare earth metal applications, sustainable practices, safety, and practical applications. Special features include Safety Notes, Practical Metallurgy, Did You Know?, and Sustainable Metallurgy.

• New chapter arrangement in section 2 allows students to first experience and understand the mechanical properties of metals before delving into the microscopic structures and chemical properties at work.
• New Lab Manual enhances coverage of testing of material properties of metals and other key textbook concepts.
• New instructional videos help explain and demonstrate labs, as well as challenging and important topics from the textbook.
