Overview

Physical metallurgy is one of the main fields of metallurgical science dealing with the development of the microstructure of metals in order to achieve desirable properties required in technological applications. Physical Metallurgy: Principles and Design focuses on the processing–structure–properties triangle as it applies to metals and alloys. It introduces the fundamental principles of physical metallurgy and the design methodologies for alloys and processing. The first part of the book discusses the structure and change of structure through phase transformations. The latter part of the books deals with plastic deformation, strengthening mechanisms, and mechanical properties as they relate to structure. The book also includes a chapter on physical metallurgy of steels and concludes by discussing the computational tools, involving computational thermodynamics and kinetics, to perform alloy and process design.

The new textbook by Professor Haidemenopoulos serves as a comprehensive introduction to the physical metallurgy of metals. The phenomena are described in a conceptional and demonstrative manner; a link to real materials application is elaborated for many possible applications. It is especially worth mentioning that the consequent numerical description of the fundamental design principles of metals offers the entrance for physics-based modelling of materials and processes. -Wolfgang Bleck, RWTH Aachen University, Germany The book by Haidemenopolous is an up-to-date book on the physical metallurgy of metals. It covers the well-known topics of phase transformations under equilibrium and non-equilibrium conditions, as well as the strengthening mechanism and the way it can be used during metal production or treatment. The last chapter on Alloy Design is a nice integration of the concepts explained and takes the book from the level of explaining what is known already to the level of (the start of) a toolbox to redesign new alloys based on conceptual thinking. -Sybrand van der Zwaag, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands Although this specialised text is - first and foremost - aimed at upwardly mobile students studying with a materials science department, the author cordially invites others to read this book and categorically states (page 2) that his aim is to help readers (of other persuasions) to understand the behaviour of metals subjected to mechanical and/or thermomechanical loads.... [a] useful well-organised authoritative book. All who are studying strength of materials as a core subject will also find much in this book that is directly relevant to their studies. --Peter C. Gasson,CEng, MIMechE, FRAeS, The Aeronautical Journal, October 2020

Author Information

Gregory N. Haidemenopoulos has been Professor of Physical Metallurgy and Director of the Laboratory of Materials (LoM) at University of Thessaly, Greece since 1992. His research is concerned with processing-structure-properties in metallic materials, dealing with transformation kinetics in TRIP steels, corrosion-induced hydrogen trapping in aluminum alloys and rolling contact fatigue in rails. More recent research focuses on computational alloy and process simulation with applications in the design of homogenization of extrudable aluminum alloys, the design of medium-Mn steels and the thermomechanical process design of HSLA steels. In addition to teaching and research, Prof. Haidemenopoulos has provided consulting services to industry in the fields of process design, failure analysis, materials selection and corrosion control. Prof. Haidemenopoulos has supervised several PhD students and has earned the University of Thessaly's Mechanical Engineering Departmental Best Teaching Award for the years 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2014, and 2015. He is Member of Editorial Board of The Open Corrosion Journal and International Journal of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, published 10 book chapters, 70 papers in refereed journals, and presented many keynote and invited lectures worldwide. Prof. Haidemenopoulos received his PhD in Metallurgy, MSc in Metallurgy, and MSc in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering from MIT.
