Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering: An Integrated Approach - Softcover

Callister and Rethwisch's Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering third edition continues to take the integrated approach to the organization of topics. That is, one specific structure, characteristic, or property type at a time is discussed for all three basic material types-viz. metals, ceramics, and polymeric materials. This order of presentation allows for the early introduction of non-metals and supports the engineer's role in choosing materials based upon their characteristics.
