Materials for Engineering by W Bolton

Materials for Engineering by W Bolton

This book covers the new BTEC unit Materials for Engineering (171J) and the GNVQ level 2 manufacturing optional units at intermediate and advanced levels of "Select and Test Materials" (U1O16547) and "Select Materials" (U1016553). It should also be of relevance to other courses where engineers require an introduction to the selection of materials. Within the book, the engineering student will be introduced to: the properties and testing of materials used in manufacturing; the recognition of a relationship between the properties and the microstructure of the materials; the recognition of how the properties may be changed through modifications in composition, structure and processing; the selection of materials for particular applications; and recognization of the requirements for safe procedures. It includes case studies, worked examples and a large number of problems, with answers supplied for all.
