Phase Transformations in Metals and Alloys

Author:Kenneth E. Easterling
Edition:2nd Edition

The behavior of metals and alloys is explained through the principles governing phase transformations and microstructural evolution. It examines thermodynamics, diffusion, and crystal structure to show how materials change during processes like solidification and heat treatment, providing a foundation for understanding and controlling material properties in engineering applications.
