ENGINEERING MATERIALS AND METALLURGY

Engineering Materials and Metallurgy play a pivotal
role in the field of materials science and engineering, serving
as the foundation for understanding the properties,
behaviours, and applications of various materials. This
comprehensive textbook is meticulously crafted to provide
students and professionals with a thorough exploration of the
fundamental principles, concepts, and practical aspects of
materials engineering.
The journey through this book begins with an in-depth
examination of the constitution of alloys and phase
diagrams, covering essential topics such as solid solutions,
Hume-Rothery rules, phase diagrams, and their applications.
The exploration extends to the intricacies of heat treatment,
unveiling the processes, techniques, and effects that
influence the mechanical properties of materials. The
detailed coverage of ferrous and non-ferrous metals further
enriches the reader’s understanding of the diverse
applications and engineering requirements associated with
different alloy systems.
