Features: This book consists of three parts: Metallography, Principles and Processes of Heat Treatment, and Metallic Materials. It systematically and comprehensively introduces the crystal structure of metals and alloys, phase diagrams and crystallization of metals and alloys, plastic deformation and recrystallization, basic theories of diffusion and phase transformation in solid metals, fundamental processes for strengthening materials, and commonly used metallic materials. It also separately discusses the alloying issues of different types of metallic materials and points out the ways to improve the strength and toughness of materials. Each chapter includes a certain number of exercises and assignments, and references for further reading are provided. This book is a teaching material for the "Metallography and Heat Treatment" course in casting and welding programs of higher industrial schools, and can also be used as a reference for teachers, students, and engineering technicians working in related fields.
