This is the only engineering technology text that serves both welding and manufacturing technology metallurgy programs. It provides complete coverage of ferrous and nonferrous metals, understanding their manufacture, and how to work with them (welding, heat treating, surface treating, and understanding causes of product failure). In-depth coverage is also given of plastics, glass composites, ceramics, concrete, and wood. The text is highly illustrated with over 400 photographs and drawings; each chapter has workshop material presented in 'step- by-step' fashion, allowing students to apply practical applications to the principles presented in the chapter; and each chapter contains objectives, introduction, self-evaluation questions and laboratory experiments. The previous edition of this book was published in 1984.
