Features: This book, based on the discussion of fundamental theories in materials science such as atomic bonding, crystal structure, solidification state, phase diagrams and phase transformations, heat treatment principles, and plastic deformation of general engineering materials, systematically analyzes the chemical composition, microstructure, processing methods, performance characteristics, and interrelationships of commonly used metallic materials, polymer materials, ceramic materials, and composite materials. It provides examples of the application of various materials, explains the main failure modes of mechanical parts, the selection of materials in mechanical design, and the importance of material selection. The book also comprehensively introduces new technologies and methods for material surface modification and emphasizes the importance of material quality identification and basic identification methods.
The book is divided into 14 chapters, each followed by corresponding review questions and exercises to help readers review and consolidate their knowledge. It can serve as a teaching material for mechanical engineering or related disciplines in ordinary universities and for adult higher education in corresponding fields. Additionally, it can be used as a reference for engineering technicians engaged in the design, manufacturing, and quality control of mechanical, shipbuilding, vehicle, power, and electrical systems.
