Theory of Transformations in Metals and Alloys

This book is a classic text for metallurgists and material scientists. It has been completely revised since the first edition published, nearly 40 years ago. Professor Christian discusses areas such as lattice geometry, point defects, dislocations, stacking faults, grain and interphase boundaries, solid solutions, diffusion, etc., and provides short accounts of more controversial topics such as the thermodynamics of the steady state.Christian, J. W. is the author of 'Theory of Transformations in Metals and Alloys', published 2002 under ISBN 9780080440194 and ISBN 0080440193.
