Materials for Engineering

Materials for Engineering provides a clear and accessible introduction to the properties and testing of materials. This textbook is designed to help students develop a thorough understanding of material science, including how properties change with modifications in composition, structure, and processing. It covers the selection of materials for various engineering applications and includes new chapters on durability, electrical testing, and thermal expansion. The second edition features an expanded section on the identification and classification of materials, as well as links between properties and processes. This updated text also includes a greater range of property data to support student learning. With its focus on practical application, Materials for Engineering is suitable for pre-degree level students and technician engineers. This book has been matched to the requirements of the new specifications for the Advanced GNVQ compulsory unit, making it an ideal resource for those studying engineering.
