Physical Metallurgy

This compact overview on physical metallurgy provides a detailed coverage of phase equilibria and phase transformations in metals and alloys. It presents the broad range of topics from processes of crystallization and diffusion mechanisms to plastic deformations and structural transformations especially in iron alloys and steels.

As an introductory work it is valuable to Material Scientists and Engineers.
