Introduction to Phase Diagrams in Materials Science and Engineering is designed to help students of engineering and materials science use phase diagrams more effectively.

What does this book cover?

Introduction to Phase Diagrams in Materials Science and Engineering can help you make sense of phase diagrams, and begin to use them appropriately when presenting your own results and analyses. It is extremely user-friendly, and makes this complex topic approachable to both engineers and materials scientists. It will also be a big help to non-specialists who nevertheless use these diagrams in research and development.

Introduction to Phase Diagrams in Materials Science and Engineering can help you to:

• Grasp the importance of both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional phase diagrams
• Use common binary phase diagrams more effectively
• Understand more complicated ternary phase diagrams
• Apply ternary phase diagrams to research and analysis of semiconductors and ceramic materials
