Metallurgy Fundamentals provides instruction and information on the basic principles of metallurgy. A knowledge of these principles is invaluable to any person who plans to deal with metals as a future vocation. Metallurgy Fundamentals emphasizes the practical aspects of metallurgy. It explores the behavior of metals subjected to metallurgical processes. It explains why certain material properties are desired and how these properties are attained. Metallurgy Fundamentals describes common industrial processes, so that you can confidently discuss the processing of metals with others in the field. These processes are explained in dear, simple terms for easier understanding. Metallurgy Fundamentals speaks to the reader in down-ta-earth language, rather than highly theoretical terms. In many cases, diagrams are used instead of lengthy word descriptions and practical examples are given instead of abstract theories. A section on nonferrous metallurgy has been added for this edition of Metallurgy Fundamentals. This new section discusses the processes used to create nonferrous metals and their alloys. Aluminum, copper, magnesium, zinc, and other nonferrous metals are discussed. Metallurgy Fundamentals is written for those who want to learn the "basics," for those who want to explore the behavior of metals, and for those who want a broad knowledge of the entire field of metallurgy.
