    This is a well written and useful textbook. Of course, metallurgy is an endlessly deep subject but this is a nice first or second book to study it.

    The only thing that I find annoying is a statement early on that iron and

    carbon do not chemically react. Often they do not, but often they do in

    iron carbide – the deciding factors are heat treating and other alloying

    components. This statement should be corrected.

    I found Metallurgy Fundamentals to be an excellent resource for myself. While not overly technical it covers the basic principles and theory of metal making in clear and straightforward language. I recommend it for persons in drafting, quality, design, or purchasing.

    This book is a nice introduction to the subject of metallurgy. It’s well written and clear. Although it’s not an in depth treatement of the subject, it should be a good introductory text for the technologist.
