One of the best physical metallurgy books ever

This is based on the 3rd edition paperback book, NOT the multi-volume series. What can I say, I think this is one of the best books for teaching yourself physical metallurgy. It is a very very good introduction. 1. It is cheaper than most other texts. 2. It mentions pretty much all of the important principles, but keeps it pretty short (only 402 pages of text). 3. It is well written and easy to understand, provided you have some background in materials science. 4. It is designed to be read in any order you like. Each section will tell you what other sections you should have already read. The only downside is that it is old and only available in paperback. The author passed away in 93 right after finishing the 3rd edition. We will have to wait for somebody else to come along and write a new and/or updated book.

ideal source of information...

... when you already have a basic understanding of the subject. This book is very useful as introduction to physical metallurgy, but students and researchers familiar with the subject will find it a condensed and concise reference.

This book is a FANTASTIC reference text

One look through the index will show you all you want to know. Check out this list of random buzz words from metallurgy and physics:Phonon Spectra, Rutherford backscattering, Spinodal decomposition, TEM bright field imaging, magnetic susceptibility, Kikuchi patterns, Phase diagrams, Van der Waals bond... Isn't that great? For anybody doing any sort of work related to metallurgy, this text represents an excellent source for information that is general enough for daily use, but specific enough to be useful. Every chapter is very well written and can stand alone without the rest of the text. There are several volumes to this text, I believe, so be sure to find all of them.

the best physical metallurgy's book

I got new ideas when I read this book.
