" Engineering Materials 2 " is a best-selling stand-alone text in its own right for more advanced students of materials science and mechanical engineering, and is the follow-up to its renowned companion text, " Engineering Materials 1: An Introduction to Properties, Applications & Design ." This book develops a detailed understanding of the fundamental properties of engineering materials, how they are controlled by processing, formed, joined and finished, and how all of these factors influence the selection and design of materials in real-world engineering applications.
*One of the best-selling materials properties texts; companion text to Ashby & Jones' 'Engineering Materials 1: An Introduction to their Properties and Applications' book
*New student friendly format, with enhanced pedagogy including more case studies, worked examples, student questions and a full instructor's manual
