For courses in Materials Science and Metallurgy.

Practical Metallurgy and Materials of Industry, Seventh Edition, examines the behavior and characteristics of metals and materials, as well as the current practices for materials processing being used in the industry today. Taking a visual approach, it uses graphics, drawings, and photographs to illustrate actual equipment, processes and differences in metals when they are subjected to certain conditions such as heating, forming, or forging. Continuing its use of self-tests, case problems and worksheets, this new edition features updated identification and classification of metals; color inserts; expanded coverage of annealing, stress relieving, and normalizing steels; a new chapter on surface hardening treatments for steel products; and a new chapter on hardening processes and tempering steels.
