Ian Polmear0750663715, 9780750663717, 9780080496108

Recent years have seen significant advances in the processing and use of light alloys, in particular in the aeronautical and automotive industries, along with advances in modelling techniques, casting and fabricating technologies and environmental issues. Fully updated to cover all of these developments, the new edition is focused on the needs of both students and professionals working in this field, and is a key resource for both – including those who do not have a metallurgical background.
