Phase Transformations in Materials

In this book, Phase Transformations in Materials, basic theoretical aspects of various solid-state transformations and solidification of materials have been dealt with in a systematic and general manner without going into the transformations in specific materials. It is written as a textbook for undergraduate students and can also be a reference book for postgraduate students. It is assumed that the students have already done courses on metallurgical thermodynamics and phase diagrams. However, introductory chapters on diffusion in materials and interfaces in materials are included in the book. This book can be used as a textbook for an undergraduate course on Phase Transformations in Materials. Topics like 'diffusion in materials' and solidification of materials can be left out if they are dealt with elsewhere in curriculum.
