Beskrivning

Introducing the kinetics of phase transformations, in a manner that is relevant to all materials, from polymers and ceramics to metals and electronic materials. It builds up from simple discussions of interfaces to the complex primary phase transformations used to create engineering materials, and introduces students to real-world industry tools, including materials databases and CALPHAD-based codes. All assumptions are clearly stated, and all derivations presented in full, allowing students to focus on core concepts and the implications of results, and it is accompanied by 125 end-of-chapter homework problems, Python code examples, and solutions for instructors. Culminating with a discussion of transformation rates that synthesizes concepts presented throughout the text, including three example capstone projects, this is the ideal introduction for senior undergraduate and graduate students studying phase transformations.
