Usually ships in 1 business days | | | | | | Callister and Rethwisch’s Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering third edition continues to take the integrated approach to the organization of topics. That is, one specific structure, characteristic, or property type at a time is discussed for all three basic material types—viz. metals, ceramics, and polymeric materials. This order of presentation allows for the early introduction of non-metals and supports the engineer’s role in choosing materials based upon their characteristics. | | | |

 Prepare for frustration Oct 29, 2007
By engineering guy
Don't buy it unless your professor requires it. It is extremely frustrating because there is very brief explanation of a subject and then the problems expect you to have in-depth knowledge. /you will waste a lot of time hunting for information that isn't even there.
In order to understand the material presented in this book, you will need to hunt online for clarification or find a better book. Half of the problems are based on reading tiny diagrams that are impossible to read to the level of accuracy you need to answer the problems.
Some of the qualitative explanation is OK, but you really need a better resource for quantitative analysis.

 Great treatment of entry level material science Oct 12, 2010
By Girl M.E.
My son is interested in blacksmithing. He's a freshman in high school and we homeschool. I wanted to teach him about crystal structure and how temperature and processing affect the final product. This is an excellent text for this purpose. We skip all the math and focus on the concepts. Later, if he's truly interested, we can go back to this text and delve deeper into the concepts and calculations. I'm delighted!

Covers a lot of material, maybe too much May 05, 2010
By A. Zaddach
This book covers tons of material. It was part of 2 classes I took, and I've referred to it in several others. It has content on almost everything that will be covered in an undergraduate materials science program, then a little bit more. The amount of coverage it gives for each topic though varies quite a bit. I found its discussion on the various microstructures of steel very useful on multiple occasions. The section on fracture though left a little bit to be desired, the section discussing brittle fracture is only about half a page. It tries to condense what would probably be 3 or 4 whole chapters in a mechanical properties textbook (on fracture, fatigue, creep, impact testing, stress concentration) into a single 50 page chapter. Overall though, I found it to be a good intro textbook and a good reference for concepts.

 Decent, not very clear Oct 27, 2011
By fezzthomas
The text is somewhat confusing. The diagrams are too small and any attempt to magnify results in grainy pictures. Additionally the lack of page numbers makes it difficult to follow along with a class. Locations do not help at all. The formatting seems to be off and can lack cohesiveness unless you can compare it to the hard-copy version.
Satisfactory! Feb 11, 2012
By Dabssa
The book arrived a few days after I made my order and in the stated condition. Overall, I am satisfied with this product. In addition, for those of you buying this book, the questions expect a foundation in algebra and trigonometry and the equations are provided in the chapters. What upsets me is that the author never bothers to explain the proofs for the equations or at least where they came from. But the book also has some useful information and will provide you with basic skills in materials engineering if you read the chapters and answer the questions, which aren't that difficult to begin with.
