Introduction To Metallurgy

This classic textbook, has been reprinted by The Institute of Materials to provide undergraduates with a broad overview of metallurgy from atomic theory, thermodynamics, reaction kinetics and crystal physics, to elasticity and palsticity.
About Author :
Sir Alan Cottrell is a foremr Goldsmiths' Professor of Metallurgy at the University of Cambridge where he is now a Senior Research Associate in Materials Science. He main research interest is the application of atomic theory to the understanding of the properties of materials, especially theri mechanical properties such as strenght, plastic yielding and fracture.
