A revised edition of Introduction to Metallurgical Thermodynamics (2nd ed., 1981), retitled to better reflect the increasing application of thermodynamics to the behavior of nonmetallic materials, and the transformation of metallurgy to materials. An introductory textbook for undergraduate and graduate-level students of materials science and engineering. This edition not only extends the range of topics to include nonmetallic materials, but also provides new worked-out examples and problems, many of which focus on nonmetallic systems. Annotation c.
