This book offers a fundamental treatise on the basis of materials science. The book is meant to be used in the beginning of a materials science and engineering study. Topics dealt with are 'crystallography', 'lattice defects', 'microstructural analysis', 'phase equilibria and transformations' and 'mechanical strength'. After the basic chapters, the coverage of topics occurs to an extentsurpassing what can be offered in a freshman's course. Therefore the book canbe used throughout an entire undergraduate and even graduate study as a solidbackground against which specialized texts can be studied. The central issue of materials science is to develop models that provide the relation between the microstructure and the properties, which is the feature distinguishing materials science from merely solid state physics and solid state chemistry. This book conveys this message. Very comprehensive and topically complete textbook Only materials sciences textbook from undergraduate till graduate student levelPerfect didactical structure, inclusion of the latest research results Fluentand rigorous teaching presentation of the concepts in materials science providing deep, basic insight into materials science Presents in-depth treatments of, in particular, phase transformations and mechanical properties of materialsImportant feature is an extensive treatment of the important methods for the analysis of the microstructure of materials INDICE: Introduction.- electronic structure of the atom.- chemical bondingin solids.- crystallography.- the crystal imperfection; lattice defects.- analysis of the microstructure; analysis of lattice imperfections.- phase equilibria.- diffusion.- phase transformations.- recovery, recrystallization and grain growth.- mechanical strength of materials.
