Download or read book Ferrous Physical Metallurgy written by Anil Kumar Sinha and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 1989 with total page 840 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of the interrelationships among phase diagram, free-energy- composition diagram, kinetics of phase transformation, microstructure, property, and processing for better understanding the behavior of metallic materials. The focus is on both the theoretical elements such as those dealing with deformation, annealing phenomena, nuclation in solids, phase transformations in solids, and kinetics of phase transformations, and the processing elements such as those dealing with heat treatment operations.
