Features: This textbook is developed based on the basic requirements of engineering material courses for cold processing in mechanical engineering disciplines of higher education institutions. It introduces common mechanical engineering materials and their applications, catering to the practical needs of students in various mechanical engineering disciplines. The main content includes: the crystal structure and crystallization of metals; plastic deformation and recrystallization of metals; the crystallization of alloys and binary phase diagrams; iron-carbon alloys; heat treatment of steel; alloy steels; cast iron; non-ferrous metals and their alloys; material selection for mechanical parts and process route analysis; non-metallic mechanical engineering materials (including polymer materials, engineering plastics, rubber materials, engineering ceramic materials, and composite materials). The appendix at the end of the book introduces common national performance indicators and hardness testing methods, metal hardness and its conversion to strength, as well as commonly used steel grades in China and other countries. This book emphasizes practical application in material selection and reflects the latest achievements in materials science, with relevant content updated to align with new national standards. It can be used as a teaching material for students in mechanical engineering disciplines or related fields that involve cold processing, and is also suitable for reference by professional technicians.
