SCIENCE & ENGINEERING OF MATERIALS (4th ed)

This text provides an understanding of the relationship between structure, processing and properties of materials.

By selecting the appropriate topics from this wealth of material, instructors can emphasize metals, provide a general overview of materials, concentrate on mechanical behaviour or focus on physical properties.

Since the book has more material than is needed for a one-semester course, students should also find it a useful reference for subsequent courses in manufacturing, materials, design or materials selection.
