Practical Metallurgy
and Materials of Industry, Sixth Edition
The 6th edition of Tom Bertone's textbook on metallurgy, microstructure, and material processing is ideally used as a first year college textbook for students majoring in metallurgy or material science, machine tool technology, welding technology and quality control. The book establishes a solid foundation for understanding metallurgical terms and practices for material processing currently used in the metals and materials industry. The subject matter presented also prepares the student with a basic understanding of the mechanisms which cause material failures and those which prevent failures.
Each chapter contains practical examples of material failure analysis, microstructure photographs and the corrective actions taken to resolve processing and manufacturing problems in industry. Students of quality control will find the book most helpful in describing the testing methods used to determine material properties and testing for specification compliance.
The book is written with the intention of presenting somewhat complicated material processes in a simplified manner, which will enable the student to build a solid foundation of technical understanding. There is a systematic approach to the layout of the subject chapters, beginning with a brief history, followed by twenty-three chapters of applied metallurgy. The illustrations and photographs are of the actual equipment used to produce the metals and alloys or to perform specific processing operations during the product manufacturing.
Actual case studies dealing with failure analysis and the associated manufacturing processes used to produce metal parts are presented throughout this book along with basic fracture surface standards in, to help the manufacturer and metal worker understand what mechanism caused product failure. The book has a Glossary of terms and photographs presented to better describe the technical nomenclature of metals, nonmetals and composite materials.
