Product Description This practical introduction to engineering materials/metallurgy maintains a low mathematical level designed for two-year technical programs. The easy-to-read, highly accessible Fifth Edition now includes many of the latest industry processes that change the physical and mechanical properties of materials and is highly recommended as a "materials processing" reference handbook in support of Design, Process, Electrical and Chemical technicians and engineers. | ||

obtuse I'm a GED teacher w/ a bs in geology and a ms in geological engineering who has gone back to school to earn an as in Welding Technology. I bought this book and another ("Metallurgy Fundamentals", Brandt & Warner, Goodhart-Wilcox pub, 1999) to get up to speed on the metals I'm welding on and the effects welding has on those metals. Neely's book is obtuse in the extreme; unneccessarily hard to read, especially compared to Brandt & Warner's. Unless you're going for a degree in mechanical engineering or metallurgy, don't buy this book. On the other hand, if you enjoy writing a glossary as you read and have the time to cross-reference other books paragraph by paragraph, go for it. Oh, and the price of this book was four-times the price of Brandt & Warner's. | ||
An excellent view of materials in practice This text gives an introduction to the properties and traits of materials as they will be used in manufacturing and the field. As a mechanical engineer, it was a pleasure to see the equipment and the methods of testing. This book gives a descriptive approach to the subject, which I feel packs a lot more punch than the quantitative methods most materials science coursework gives. The author clearly loves his subject, as shown in the incredible research and documentation he has assembled. An excellent source for self-study! | ||
very informative and helpful this text book proved to be a huge help to me in college while studying to be a mechanical engineer. it's a must have, it's one of the only books i actually kept on my shelf after college. | ||
