This book deals with all aspects of advanced composite materials; what they are, where they are used, how they are made, their properties, how they are designed and analyzed, and how they perform in-service. It covers both continuous and discontinuous fiber composites fabricated from polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices, with an emphasis on continuous fiber polymer matrix composites.The unique feature of this book is that it provides a comprehensive overview of composite materials at the introductory to intermediate level from an industrial perspective. Other books on composite materials stress theory more than practical applications. Throughout this book, practical aspects—based on the author's 38 years of industrial experience—are emphasized more than theory.

This well-written text is for non-metallurgists and anyone seeking a quick refresher on an essential tool of modern metallurgy. The basic principles, construction, interpretation, and use of alloy phase diagrams are clearly described with ample illustrations for all important liquid and solid reactions. Gas-metal reactions, important in metals processing and in-service corrosion, also are discussed. Get the basics on how phase diagrams help predict and interpret the changes in the structure of alloys. Contents Include: Introduction to Phase Diagrams / Solid Solutions and Phase Transformations / Thermodynamics and Phase Diagrams / Isomorphous, Eutectic, Peritectic, and Monotectic Alloy Systems / Solid State Transformations / Intermediate Phases / Ternary Diagrams / Gas-Metal Systems / Phase Diagram Determination / Computer Simulation of Phase Diagrams / Phase Diagram Applications / Non-Equilibrium Reactions-Martensitic and Bainitic Structures, Precipitation Hardening / Appendices: Review of Metallic Structure and Fundamentals of Solidification

Covers the basics of metal fabrication, delving deep into the technology of metals fabrication. Topics include: primary mill fabrication, casting, bulk deformation, forming, machining, heat treatment, finishing and coating, and powder metallurgy. This book can be read and understood by anyone with a technical background; it is useful to anyone who deals with metals including designers, mechanical engineers, civil engineers, structural engineers, material and process engineers, manufacturing engineers, faculty, and materials science students.
