Abbaschian/Abbaschian's PHYSICAL METALLURGY PRINCIPLES, 5th Edition, is specifically designed for students taking introductory courses in physical metallurgy within engineering at the junior or senior level. The approach is student-friendly, mostly theoretical, and covers all aspects of physical metallurgy and how metals and alloys behave. The content aligns with current learning trends -- emphasizing a more fundamental approach to engineering education. Its easy-to-read format effectively conveys the essential information, complemented by strategically placed figures throughout the chapters to improve understanding.
