Trades & Technology

For courses in Materials Technology, Materials and Processes Technology, Materials Science and Technology, Industrial Materials, Composites and Ceramics, Non-Metallic Materials and Building Materials.

The fifth edition of Engineering Materials Technology continues to cover basic concepts in materials science, engineering and technology dealing with traditional as well as advanced materials. This exceptionally readable text/reference on engineering materials is designed to help students develop problem-solving abilities in such areas as materials evaluation and selection, materials processes selection, failure analysis, and materials testing. Special strategies and clear explanations clarify the relationships among the major facets of materials science and technology including structure, processing, properties, and selection of the full range of materials. In addition to coverage of metals, polymers, ceramics and composites, the book offers introductions to emerging technologies such as micro/nano technology, environmentally friendly processes and products, smart and morphing materials and trends in surface science and engineering.

• A focus on the environment.

  • Makes students aware of the need for green design and manufacturing of products and systems and for a sustainable environment—and how to intelligently dispose of materials for purposes of recycling.

• Extensive appendices—Greek symbols, SI/US customary conventions and conversions, tables of properties, ASTM abbreviations, hardness to strength conversions, trade names, material selection guides, and more.

  • Provide students with easy access to information that they will be required to use. Ex.___

• EMT Web links.

  • Present students with valuable resources for obtaining additional information, illustrations, and animations.

• “Applications and Alternatives.”

  • Introduce students to current applications of the concepts in each module.

• “Pause and Ponders”—Case studies or applications of materials developments.

  • Sparks the reader's interest and provide a reason to learn the content.

• Solved problems and numerous illustrations and examples—Represent a full range of products, systems, and technologies.

  • Support concepts within a module's topic, making the text a useful study tool and valuable reference beyond the course.

• “Self-Assessments”—Open-ended essay questions, problems to solve, and objective questions.

  • Challenge students' level of understanding.

• “References and Related Readings”—Lists of sources, useful handbooks, journals, periodicals, etc.

  • Helps students further expand their studies and knowledge of special interest topics.

• Reorganized content—Broken down into smaller modules and grouped into units.

  • Provides flexibility for instructors to use this book in a variety of courses.

• Updated CD-ROM—Contains over 350 experiments and demonstrations, numerous illustrations, Web links, and instructional aids.

  • Serves as a valuable and interactive supplement to the book.

• Added coverage to surface science and engineering.

  • Reflects new technologies resulting from microtechnology, improved characterization and analysis instruments and the need for improved quality and reliability.
