Materials for Engineers and Technicians, 7th Edition, provides an accessible introduction to materials engineering and manufacturing processes. Written in a straightforward style without mathematical complexity or excessive jargon, the textbook introduces foundational concepts alongside practical considerations.
The volume explores material properties, mechanical testing, and major categories of materials, including ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, polymers, ceramics, and composites. It also addresses shaping processes, joining methods, causes of failure, and material selection.
Designed to align with vocational and undergraduate engineering syllabuses, Materials for Engineers and Technicians, 7th Edition, also serves as a quick desktop reference for practicing product design engineers.
