A practical guide to materials and manufacturing concepts and applications


Written in a straightforward, conversational style, this comprehensive textbook offers a hands-on introduction to materials science and manufacturing techniques. You will explore metallic and nonmetallic materials, their properties and applications, and how products are made from them, including traditional, additive, and advanced manufacturing methods. Materials and Manufacturing: An Introduction to How They Work and Why It Matters starts off by explaining materials science fundamentals and progresses to outline manufacturing processes in the order in which they are often employed.  


Coverage includes:
Metallic materials and processing
Nonmetallic materials and processing
Practical considerations in materials and manufacturing
Material structure, identification, and application
Compositional and property-based classification
Mechanical, thermal, and environmental concepts
Methods of testing materials
