Explore the essential science behind engineering metals and their uses. This practical handbook surveys the chemistry, properties, and treatment of materials common in engineering, from iron and steel to copper, lead, and other alloys. It blends theory with real-world application to help students and professionals understand how materials behave under heat, chemical action, and mechanical work.
The text moves from fundamental composition and reactions to the processing, testing, and protection of metals. It describes how metals are sourced, refined, and shaped for engines, structures, and industrial equipment. It also covers practical topics like corrosion resistance, heat treatment, and the selection of materials for specific engineering tasks.
- Learn the chemical and physical properties of metals used in engineering
- See how ores are processed, refined, and turned into workable metals
- Understand treatments, coatings, and protective methods to extend life
- Gain insight into the practical uses of copper, lead, and other alloys in industry
Ideal for readers of engineering handbooks, this edition offers clear explanations and concrete examples to support study or on‑the‑job reference.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book was written to address the need for a convenient, introductory textbook on materials of engineering for both students and instructors. The author, a professor who has taught the subject to engineering students for many years, presents a clear and thorough treatment of the chemical composition of engineering materials and how their transformation through treatment processes impact their physical properties. The book begins by setting out the chemical principles on which the book is based, assumes a reader working with a basic understanding of chemistry, and provides enough information on exceptions to prepare the reader for more advanced study. Beyond basic chemical composition, the author moves on to discuss the different processes by which the raw materials are transformed and shaped into useful materials for the construction of bridges, buildings, and machines, with an emphasis on iron and steel. The author includes a chapter on the testing of materials to assess the success of different processes and predict the suitability of materials for different applications. The book presents a broad treatment of a critical and foundational element of engineering and can be applied by industries across a wide spectrum of interests, including aerospace, chemical plants, power generation, nuclear power, marine engineering, and manufacturing. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
