Essentials of Materials Science and Engineering is a great way to introduce yourself to materials science, and the use of new materials in engineering.

What does this book cover?

Essentials of Materials Science and Engineering, SI Edition delivers the basic concepts that sit at the intersection between engineering and materials science, but goes on to explain how and why these different materials have the properties they do, as well as why different processing techniques change these properties in predictable ways. It also offers powerful digital resources and learning tools from MindTap.

In addition, Essentials of Materials Science and Engineering includes practical advice on:

• Processing materials to suit a particular design
• Why and how different materials and groups of materials behave the way they do
• Understanding the framework of materials science for engineers
