ENGINEERING MATERIALS

Due to advancement of technology, it has become more important to keep with the pace of the present trend. Lot of developments have taken place in the field of materials. Various new materials are being developed including composite materials and it has now been possible to develop certain new properties of material to suit the present requirements.
This book has specially been written according to the latest trends in the field of material science/mechanical engineering materials. The contents of the book are useful for practising engineers and technical personels. It also covers the need of the syllabus covered by various boards of technical education and universities and is beneficial for diploma couses as well as undergraduate students too.
The students pursuing Diploma/degree in Mechanical Engineering are actually required to have in depth knowledge for proper use of various newly developed materials for different applications.
Obviously, it has become necessary that the engineers should possess knowledge regarding properties, metal structure, end use and testing along with test parameters of various ferrous and non-ferrous materials and heat treatment processes.
This subject aims at developed and focussed knowledge about the characteristics, testing and usage of different type of materials being used in present day industries.
After going through this subject thoroughly, the engineering students are hopefully liable to prove their worth in distinguishing the metals & non-metals, ferrous metals and their alloys, crystal structures, heat treatment processes, properties and application of composite materials, ceramics and smart materials. They will also be able to possess knowledge of destructive and non -destructive tests along with selection of suitable material for various engineering applications and prove as a boon for an industrial set up.
