Understand the relationship between processing and material properties with this streamlined introduction.

Materials engineering focuses on the complex and crucial relationship between the physical properties of materials and the chemical bonds that comprise them. Specifically, this field of study seeks to understand how materials can be designed to meet specific design and performance criteria. This ‘materials paradigm’ has, in recent years, become integral to numerous cutting-edge areas of technological development.

Discover why materials behave the way they do with ESSENTIALS OF MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, 4TH Edition. This books focuses on materials engineering to explain how to process materials to suit your designs. 

Rather than simply memorizing facts or lumping materials into broad categories, you gain an understanding of the whys and hows behind materials science and engineering. This knowledge of materials science provides an important framework for understanding the principles used today to engineer materials. 

Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction promotes student understanding of the three primary types of materials (metals, ceramics, and polymers) and composites, as well as the relationships that exist between the structural elements of materials and their properties. 

The 10th edition provides new or updated coverage on a number of topics, including: the Materials Paradigm and Materials Selection Charts, 3D printing and additive manufacturing, biomaterials, recycling issues and the Hall effect.

This encyclopedia, written by authoritative experts under the guidance of an international panel of key researchers from academia, national laboratories, and industry, is a comprehensive reference covering all major aspects of metallurgical science and engineering of aluminum and its alloys. 

Le guide pratique, de petit format, tout en couleurs, rassemble les connaissances et les normes de base dans les matières des sciences et technologies industrielles, notamment en dessin industriel.

L'ouvrage comporte 4 parties : Dessin industriel / Éléments de construction / Organisation - Méthodes d'analyse / Matériaux – Automatisme - Schématisation. Il s'adresse aux premiers niveaux d'enseignement et d'apprentissage.

Grâce à sa couverture renforcée, il est facilement utilisable en atelier.
