Structure-Property Relations in Nonferrous Metals

This junior/senior textbook presents fundamental concepts of
structure property relations and a description of how these
concpets apply to every metallic element except iron.

Part One of the book describes general concepts of crystal
structure, microstructure and related factors on the mechanical,
thermal, magnetic and electronic properties of nonferrous metals,
intermetallic compounds and metal matrix composites.

Part Two discusses all the nonferrous metallic elements from two
perspectives: First it explains how the concepts presented in Part
One define the properties of a particular metallic element and its
alloys. Second is a description of the major engineering uses of
each metal. This section features sidebar pieces describing
particular physical property oddities, engineering applications and
case studies. An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions
to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley
editorial department.
