5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent view of materials in practice,

This review is from: Practical Metallurgy and Materials of Industry (Hardcover)
This text gives an introduction to the properties and traits of materials as they will be used in manufacturing and the field. As a mechanical engineer, it was a pleasure to see the equipment and the methods of testing. This book gives a descriptive approach to the subject, which I feel packs a lot more punch than the quantitative methods most materials science coursework gives. The author clearly loves his subject, as shown in the incredible research and documentation he has assembled. An excellent source for self-study!

Good textbook for theoretical and practical applications,

This review is from: Practical Metallurgy and Materials of Industry (6th Edition) (Hardcover)
This book works well for theoretical and practical application. It have some sloppy typographical errors, which there is no excuse for because this is a 6th edition, but they're not large enough to effect the accuracy of the book. I am using this text for a metallurgy class at a local community college and there are a variety of students with different backgrounds and competencies, and they are all using this book effectively. I myself have a degree in mechanical engineering and am getting a lot of useful, new information from this book that I did not learn in my ME studies. There is a lot of good, practical information in this book that can be easily applied in real-world situations, and the theoretical portions of the book are explained in down-to-earth words that make it easy to grasp those more abstract portions.
