This junior/senior textbook presents fundamental concepts ofstructure property relations and a description of how theseconcpets apply to every metallic element except iron.
Part One of the book describes general concepts of crystalstructure, microstructure and related factors on the mechanical,thermal, magnetic and electronic properties of nonferrous metals,intermetallic compounds and metal matrix composites.
Part Two discusses all the nonferrous metallic elements from twoperspectives: First it explains how the concepts presented in PartOne define the properties of a particular metallic element and itsalloys. Second is a description of the major engineering uses ofeach metal. This section features sidebar pieces describingparticular physical property oddities, engineering applications andcase studies. An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutionsto all the problems in the book is available from the Wileyeditorial department.

"...it contains a wealth of information on a wide variety of metalsfor which it is relatively difficult to locate information."(Materials and Manufacturing Process, January 2007)
"...a text that is informative and useful for the practicingengineer, as well as interesting and instructional for the studentof metallurgy." (Journal of Metals Online, January 24,2006)
"...well-written, illustrated, and presented...would be helpfulto junior/senior-level undergraduates, graduate students, faculty,and practicing metallurgists. An excellent acquisition for academicor industrial libraries." (CHOICE, November 2005)
