Engineering Materials Technology; Structures, Processing, Properties & Selection

Engineering Materials Technology continues to cover basic concepts in materials science, engineering and technology dealing with traditional as well as advanced materials. In addition to coverage of metals, polymers, ceramics and composites, the book offers introductions to emerging technologies such as micro/nano technology, environmentally friendly processes and products, smart and morphing materials and trends in surface science and engineering. Industrial and apprentice trainers.

Emphasizing basic concepts -- supported by current and cutting edge industrial practices and applications -- this exceptionally readable text/reference on engineering materials is designed to help students develop problem-solving abilities in such areas as materials evaluation and selection, materials processes selection, failure analysis, and materials testing. It focuses on materials in the systems context, and prepares students to work with current engineering materials as well as with new and/or improved technologies that influence many aspects of engineering materials technology. Over 200 Experiments and Demonstrations from the National Educators' Workshops are listed throughout.
