Product Description

Book Description

Building on the extraordinary success of six best-selling editions, Bill Callister's new Seventh Edition of MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING: AN INTRODUCTION continues to promote student understanding of the three primary types of materials (metals, ceramics, and polymers) and composites, as well as the relationships that exist between the structural elements of materials and their properties.

From the Publisher

The latest edition of this bestselling textbook treats the important properties of three primary types of material--metals, ceramics, polymers--as well as composites. Describes the relationships that exist between the structural elements of these materials and their characteristics. Emphasizes mechanical behavior and failure along with techniques used to improve the mechanical and failure properties in terms of alteration of structural elements. Individual chapters discuss each of the corrosion, electrical, thermal, magnetic, and optical properties plus economic, environmental, and societal issues. Features a design component which includes design examples, case studies, and design type problems and questions. --This text refers to the Software edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very prompt, Feb 23 2012
This review is from: Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction (Hardcover)
I was planning on getting this textbook used from our school book store, but it was over one hundred dollars even used. I found it here for a really good price. It came very promptly with no issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is a textbook, after all., Feb 21 2010
This review is from: Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction (Hardcover)
I purchased this book as a supplementary textbook for my Materials Engineering class. For this purpose, it was effective. There are few errors, and the index, glossary, and online content are very helpful. This book is well-written and easy to understand, at least for an undergrad student. I mean, it is a textbook after all. So, it serves it's purpose.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Introduction to Materials Science, May 5 2009

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction (Hardcover)
This textbook is a good, comprehensive introduction to material science. Its writing style is fairly dull, but at least it's concise and easy to understand. There is lots of reference material in the back of the book (such as density, melting/boiling points, and many other physical properties) and key points are highlighted well througout the book, which makes it useful as a reference book. This book is great for two types of people: those that will be specializing in materials science and need an introduction to it, and those who won't be specializing in materials science but need an overview of the topic.
