Description
Engineering Materials by Henry Tindell provides in-depth information on commonly used metals, including their functions and limitations. This comprehensive guide covers materials used in various workshop processes such as milling, welding, and lathe work. Detailed diagrams and photographs accompany the text, which explores the history of engineering materials and the behavior of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The book offers authoritative advice on material selection for practical heat treatments, joining, and other processes, including case studies on specific applications like steam locomotive boilers and model aero engines. By examining micro-structures and performance in critical applications such as fast fracture and fatigue, this guide provides valuable insights into the performance of familiar metals.
