Understanding How Components Fail (Third Edition)

Understanding How Components Fail, Third Edition focuses on metallurgical and materials evaluation methods for failure mode identification. It is intended for use by those who have little or no prior knowledge of the principles of metallurgical failures, such as those caused by distortion, fracture, wear, and corrosion. The basic principles and practices are clearly explained. Examples focus on common metals and alloys and on typical parts, but the principles involved in their analysis may be applicable to many other alloys and applications.
