Materials Science and Technology A Comprehensive Treatment Edited by R. W. Cahn, P. Haasen, E. J. Kramer The 18-volume series ‘Materials Science and Technology’ is the first in-depth, topic-oriented reference work devoted to this growing interdisciplinary field. A compendium of current, state-of-the-art information, it covers the most important classes of materials: metals, ceramics, glasses, polymers, semiconductors, and composites. Each volume deals with properties, processing, applications, or general phenomena associated with these materials. Edited by internationally renowned figures in materials science, this series is sure to establish itself as a seminal work. Volume 8: This self-contained handbook provides a unique and comprehensive treatment of the history, development, processing and applications of nonferrous alloys.
