This comprehensive, renowned three-volume set continues the line of highly regarded Physical Metallurgy titles that first published in 1965. This sixth edition preserves the excellence of the previous editions of this popular work, keeping everything up to date and offering definitive, in-depth chapters with superb coverage and clarity of explanations.

It provides comprehensive and in-depth coverage of both ferrous and non-ferrous materials written by leaders in the respective field, going from fundamental and foundational understanding to a higher level of knowledge. The physics of the processes are also given in impressive detail. There is important integration between the fundamental theory and the advanced materials characterization techniques. The book strikes an effective balance between being an introductory resource for student and early researcher metallurgists, whilst also offering a great depth of information and insight into the individual topics.

All chapters have been revised and expanded, either by the fifth edition authors alone or jointly with new co-authors. Pertinent new chapters will be added on?the physical metallurgy of light alloys, the physical metallurgy of titanium alloys, atom probe field ion microscopy, computational metallurgy, and orientational imaging microscopy. Significant emphasis on sustainability goals will be encouraged throughout chapters where appropriate. The three new volumes will incorporate the latest experimental research results and theoretical insights. Several thousand citations to the research and review literature are to be included.

Laughlin, David E.
David E. Laughlin is the ALCOA Professor of Physical Metallurgy in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, where he has taught since 1974. He also holds a courtesy appointment in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at CMU.He is the Principal Editor of the Metallurgical and Materials Transactions family of journals of ASM International and TMS. His research has centered on the investigation of the structure of materials by means of transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. He has studied various diffusional phase transformations by detailed analysis of their micro-structure as well as electron diffraction patterns. For the past 25 years he has focused on the investigation of the magnetic properties and microstructure of soft magnets (HITPERM), hard magnets (FePt and CoPt) and magnetic thin films for recording media. He co-chairs the Data Storage Systems Center Magnetic Recording Group. He has taught courses on physical metallurgy, electron microscopy, diffraction techniques, thermodynamics, crystallography, magnetic materials and phase transformations. He is a director of both the X-ray Central Facility and the Electron Optics Central Facility of the Materials Science and Engineering Department of Carnegie Mellon University. He has more than 400 technical publications in the field of phase transformations, physical metallurgy and magnetic materials, and has edited or co-edited eight books and has ten U.S. Patents in the field of magnetic recording. He was elected as an Honorary member of the AIME and is a Fellow of ASM and TMS.
