For undergraduate courses in Metallurgy and Materials Science

The father-son authoring duo of Kenneth G. Budinski and Michael K. Budinski brings nearly 70 years of combined industry experience to bear in this practical, reader-friendly introduction to engineering materials. This text covers theory and industry-standard selection practices, providing students with the working knowledge to make an informed selection of materials for engineering applications and to correctly specify materials on drawings and purchasing documents. Encompassing all significant material systems–metals, ceramics, plastics, and composites–this text incorporates information on material usage and availability, addresses the increasingly global nature of the field, and reflects the suggestions of numerous adopters of previous editions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crisp Pages!

This is one of the few textbooks I actually read through. I made the mistake of renting it instead of buying it while in class. Now that I am actually in the metal manufacturing industry, this book is super useful, which is why I decided to buy it. I got a USED textbook. However, the pages were very crisp and only had a few little sticky notes in it on some of the pages. Very satisfied with the purchase! NOTE: this book has 4 polymer chapters, 1 ceramic chapter, and 9 metallics chapters, which was why it was used for my METALLIC materials class.

I bought this book for a graduate engineering materials course because the rent price was almost as high as the buy price. Its in amazing condition even though it was listed as only good. It has a whole lot of tables helpful for any research problems and is very well organized. It even has glossary terms every chapter with key definitions.
