Customer Reviews

A fine introduction

This is a well written and useful textbook. Of course, metallurgy is an endlessly deep subject but this is a nice first or second book to study it. The only thing that I find annoying is a statement early on that iron and carbon do not chemically react. Often they do not, but often they do in iron carbide - the deciding factors are heat treating and other alloying components. This statement should be corrected.

Metallurgy

Great book for the beginner, necessary info for the individual who will be persuing a career in metal working or engineering. The basics explained in a simple manner. Topics covered in each chapter are very easy to understand.

An excellent introduction to metal making

I found Metallurgy Fundamentals to be an excellent resource for myself. While not overly technical it covers the basic principles and theory of metal making in clear and straightforward language. I recommend it for persons in drafting, quality, design, or purchasing.

Nice Introduction to Metallurgy

This book is a nice introduction to the subject of metallurgy. It's well written and clear. Although it's not an in depth treatement of the subject, it should be a good introductory text for the technologist.
