Physical Metallurgy deals primarily with the products of process metallurgy and their physical, chemical and mechanical properties. This book explain basic principles of physical metallurgy including the practical applications. The book should prove to be an invaluable and easily accessible friend to understand the theory and practice of physical metallurgy by mechanical, production, chemical and specify the metallurgical engineering students.
