Features: This book is a core textbook for undergraduate majors in materials science. It systematically introduces the principles of alloying in steel materials, including the interaction between alloying elements and iron and carbon, the role of alloying elements in various phase transformation processes, their effects on material strengthening and toughening, as well as the characteristics of process performance in alloy steels. Centered around the main thread of material composition—process—structure—property—application, it covers typical materials such as machine parts steels, tool and die steels, special performance steels, cast irons, as well as aluminum, copper, titanium, and magnesium alloys. Based on the development of materials, it introduces relatively mature new metal materials, such as magnetic alloys, metal matrix composites, microalloyed non-heat-treated steels, and environmentally friendly metal materials (such as simple alloys and general alloys). In terms of content, it highlights the dialectical thinking in materials science and the evolution of the contradiction between strength and toughness. This textbook is characterized by its comprehensiveness, practicality, and novelty. It can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in materials science majors, as well as a reference for graduate students and technical personnel engaged in materials-related work. The book is divided into three main parts: steel materials, non-ferrous metal alloys, and new metal materials. With alloying principles as the core, it emphasizes the characteristics of material composition and processing, and stresses the relationship between material structure, properties, and applications.
