Features: This book is a textbook for the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) major. It consists of three parts and thirteen chapters, primarily covering engineering materials and heat treatment of steel, welding and gas cutting of metals, and mechanical principles and components. Based on the characteristics of higher vocational education in HVAC and the practical needs of theoretical and practical teaching content, the book mainly introduces the properties and internal microstructure of metallic materials; the fundamental principles and applications of common heat treatment methods for steel; the types, specifications, properties, and uses of common metallic and non-metallic materials; the processing technology knowledge and operational methods of commonly used welding and gas-cutting metals; as well as the types, features, and applications of common mechanical transmissions, mechanisms, and components. The textbook takes fundamental principles and applications as the main thread, emphasizing the combination of theory and practice while highlighting its applicability. For the convenience of students' review and consolidation, review questions are provided at the end of each chapter. This textbook highlights the characteristics of higher vocational education, with content that is systematic, comprehensive, targeted, and practical. It can serve as a teaching material for non-mechanical majors such as HVAC, water supply and drainage, electrical installation, and water-electric equipment in higher vocational colleges and technical schools. It is also suitable for teaching in other specialized, radio and television university (RTVU), vocational college, correspondence college, and related programs. Additionally, it can be used as a reference book for construction management and technical personnel.
