| Summary: | Engineering Materials, Volume 2 expands upon the coverage offered in Volume and together the books provide a comprehensive and highly practical review of the basic science of materials technology for all engineering students. This volume has been rewritten and updated to match the requirements of the BTEC HNC/D Engineering specifications, and is also ideal for second-year engineering degree courses.The book has been redesigned in a larger format and all illustrations have been reviewed and redrawn. The text has been brought fully up to date with current examples and includes student-oriented features, such as chapter summaries, self-assessment exereises and end-of-chapter questions. Also new for this edition is an advanced chapter on polymeric materials. The content is divided into three sections: metallic materials, non-metallic materials, and materials in service. Part A - Metallic materials covers: alloy steels, the heat treatment of steels, welded and brazed metals, and corrosion prevention. Part ? - Non-metallic materials covers: ceramics and composites, polymeric (plastic) materials, and synthetic adhesives. Part ? - Materials in service covers: deformation and failure of materials, bearings and bearing materials, tool materials, electrical properties of materials, and semiconductor materials and manufacturing processes. This book follows naturally from the companion volume Engineering Materials, Volume 1, whch is intended for engineering students studying at Advanced GNVQ, BTEC NC/D or first-year degree level. The broad coverage of this two-volume approach ensures that these core texts not only satisfy the requirements of technician engineers up to the highest level but also provide an excellent technical background for undergraduates studying for a degree in mechanical engineering, materials engineering or combined engineering. |
