Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 620.11 MAT
Summary: Despite the increased understanding we now have of materials and their properties, selecting materials for a given application remains a daunting, non-trivial task. The volume of data, inadequacies in the data, and the tens of thousands of materials to choose from can overwhelm the would-be user.The Materials Selector addresses all the problems faced by materials scientists and engineers. Within its three robust volumes you will find:? The properties, performance, and processability of metals, plastics, carbon and graphite, glasses, ceramics, polymerics, composites, and surface treatments? The characteristics and comparative economics of the manufacturing routes that convert these materials into engineering components and products. Volume 1 addresses the initial stages in solving a materials selection problem, provides the background to all aspects of materials behavior, and discusses manufacturing processes. Volume 2 details the performance of metals and ceramics. Volume 3 covers the performance of polymers, thermosets, elastomers, and compositesNow in its second edition, The Materials Selector is the industry standard-a detailed guide for designers, manufacturing engineers, and material engineers, and an invaluable resource for metallurgists, ceramists, and polymer chemists.
