It is also intended to raise the readers’ awareness of their obligations to society as pract- ing engineers and scientists. What has been changed compared to the first edition? Na- rally, there is always room for improvement. Accordingly, a large number of additions, corrections, and clarifications have been made on almost each page. Furthermore, the treatment of “hi- tech ceramics” has been substantially expanded (mostly at the suggestions of my colleagues) by including topics such as silicon nitride ceramics, transformation-toughened zirconia, alumina, ultra-hard ceramics, and bioceramics. A separate section on c- posite materials has been added, including fiber-reinforced composites, particular composites, and laminar composites. A section on advanced fabrics seemed to be of interest to the re- ers. Most of all, however, Chapter 18 (Economic and Envir- mental Considerations) has been rewritten and expanded in many places by updating the statistical information on prices of materials, production figures, world rese | 出版日期 | Textbook 2004Latest edition | 关键词 | Materials; Metall; Textbook; alloy; ceramics; iron; magnetic properties; materials science; semiconductors | 版次 | 2 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/b137957 | isbn_ebook | 978-0-387-26691-6 | copyright | Springer-Verlag New York 2004 |
