Materials Science: Volume 2 Phase Transformation and Properties

This textbook illustrates one-component phase diagrams, binary equilibrium phase diagrams and ternary phase diagrams for ceramics, polymers and alloys by presenting case studies on preparation processes, and provides up-to-date information on nano-crystal materials, non-crystal materials and functional materials. As second volume in the set, it is an extension of the first volume on physical aspect of materials.

• Presents deformations and recrystallization of materials.


• Discusses electrical, thermal, magnetic and optical properties.


• Introductory textbook with abundant figures and examples for graduate students.
