Features: This textbook is written for the "Engineering Materials" course, tailored to the development status of China's mechanical industry in the 21st century. It teaches university students—future mechanical designers and manufacturers—the engineering material knowledge and fundamental theories they need to face social competition. The book focuses on introducing the relationship between the composition and structure of various engineering materials and their properties (machining performance and service performance), as well as their respective application ranges, helping readers grasp basic methods for learning and researching materials. Given the diversification of material applications in the mechanical industry, the content on magnesium alloys and non-metallic materials has been added. This book serves as a required textbook for undergraduate engineering majors such as automotive, agricultural machinery, mining machinery, mechanical engineering, food machinery, and management engineering. It can also be used as a reference for engineering technicians engaged in mechanical design and manufacturing.
