E-Book Overview
A wide-ranging, one-stop resource, the Materials Processing Handbook provides groundbreaking coverage of processes applied to a myriad of solid materials. It presents the fundamentals of materials processing by emphasizing the processing-structure-property relationship. Organized into six sections, this handbook covers fundamentals and applications of processes that convert one phase into another, materials processes that change only the microstructure within a solid phase, shape changes that modify the microstructure and properties of materials, joining processes, and the basics of processes integration.
