Materials: Engineering, science, processing and design

The 3rd edition of Materials is the essential materials engineering text and resource for students developing skills and understanding of materials properties and selection for engineering applications. Taking a unique design-led approach broader in scope than other texts, this book meets the curriculum needs of many courses in the materials and design field, including introduction to materials science and engineering, engineering materials, materials selection and processing, and materials in design. This new edition retains its design-led focus and strong emphasis on visual communication while expanding the scope of the underlying science of materials to fully meet the needs of instructors teaching an introductory course in materials.

This book is available to purchase via Elsevier Store.
