Handbook of Metallurgy Darren Wang

Metallurgy is a field of material science and engineering that focuses on the study of physical and chemical properties of metallic elements. It studies their inter-metallic compounds and mixtures, known as alloys. It is primarily used to separate metals from their ores. The discipline of metallurgy is sub-divided into physical and chemical metallurgy. The Physical field systematically considers physical properties of metals and alloys, while chemical metallurgy is concerned with obtaining metals from their ores and analyzing their reactions. Metallurgy is further subdivided into ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy which are respectively known as black and colored metallurgy. This book unravels the recent studies in the field of Metallurgy. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, the book makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. The extensive content of this book provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.
