Technicians, laboratory personnel, designers, purchasers, and salespeople agree-- if you work for a metals-related company, you need this basic reference for the non-metallurgist! It’s written for beginners as well as those who need to refresh their understanding of a particular topic. Well illustrated and indexed, the book makes technical subjects easy to understand and provides a complete glossary of metallurgical terms. Coverage of basic information on metallurgical and general engineering makes this a superb textbook. This book is designed to complement but not replace the classic ASM course of the same name. |
