This textbook offers a strong introduction to the fundamental
concepts of materials science. It conveys the quintessence of this
interdisciplinary field, distinguishing it from merely solid-state
physics and solid-state chemistry, using metals as model systems to
elucidate the relation between microstructure and materials
properties. Mittemeijer's Fundamentals of Materials Science
provides a consistent treatment of the subject matter with a
special focus on the microstructure-property relationship. Richly
illustrated and thoroughly referenced, it is the ideal adoption for
an entire undergraduate, and even graduate, course of study in
materials science and engineering. It delivers a solid background
against which more specialized texts can be studied, covering the
necessary breadth of key topics such as crystallography, structure
defects, phase equilibria and transformations, diffusion and
kinetics, and mechanical properties. The success of the first
edition has led to this updated and extended second edition,
featuring detailed discussion of electron microscopy,
supermicroscopy and diffraction methods, an extended treatment of
diffusion in solids, and a separate chapter on phase transformation
kinetics. "In a lucid and masterly manner, the ways in which the
microstructure can affect a host of basic phenomena in metals are
described.... By consistently staying with the postulated topic of
the microstructure - property relationship, this book occupies a
singular position within the broad spectrum of comparable materials
science literature .... it will also be of permanent value as a
reference book for background refreshing, not least because of its
unique annotated intermezzi; an ambitious, remarkable work." G.
Petzow in International Journal of Materials Research. "The biggest
strength of the book is the discussion of the structure-property
relationships, which the author has accomplished admirably.... In a
nutshell, the book should not be looked at as a quick 'cook book'
type text, but as a serious, critical treatise for some significant
time to come." G.S. Upadhyaya in Science of Sintering. "The role of
lattice defects in deformation processes is clearly illustrated
using excellent diagrams . Included are many footnotes,
'Intermezzos', 'Epilogues' and asides within the text from the
author's experience. This ..... soon becomes valued for the
interesting insights into the subject and shows the human side of
its history. Overall this book provides a refreshing treatment of
this important subject and should prove a useful addition to the
existing text books available to undergraduate and graduate
students and researchers in the field of materials science." M.
Davies in Materials World.
