About The Book

Engineering Materials and Metallurgy by R. Balasubramaniam is an essential resource for engineers seeking a solid understanding of materials and composites. This second edition delves deep into the three primary types of materials—steels, glass-ceramics, polymer fibers, and silicon semiconductors—and explores the critical relationships between the structural elements of materials and their properties. The book examines how processing, structure, properties, and performance factors interact across various materials, providing a comprehensive overview of material science.

The book’s expanded discussions include a more detailed treatment of crystallographic directions in hexagonal unit cells, allowing engineers to understand complex material structures more effectively. At the end of each chapter, revised summaries and updated equation summaries reinforce key concepts, making this an invaluable tool for both learning and revisiting important material science principles. Whether for academic study or professional reference, this book offers thorough insights into the fundamental concepts of materials engineering.
