Physical Metallurgy, 6th Edition, edited by David E. Laughlin and Kazuhiro Hono, is a three-volume reference set published by Elsevier that offers comprehensive coverage of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Across 3,028 pages, this multi-volume work details the physical and chemical principles governing metal structures, phase stability, and mechanical performance.

The text establishes a clear progression through foundational physical metallurgy topics. Initial chapters address the crystal structures of metallic elements, the electron theory of metallic alloys, and phase diagrams rooted in thermodynamics. Subsequent sections explore diffusion in metals, defects, dislocations, metallic glasses, solidification processes, diffusional phase transformations in the solid state, and martensitic transformations.

Updated thematic coverage includes high-entropy alloys, titanium alloys, light alloys, and additively manufactured alloys alongside computational metallurgy. The reference supports teaching and research faculty, advanced graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and technical staff in government and industrial laboratories.
