Book Description:
|
The science of materials (metallurgy) tells us that every material contains microscopic features that vary at different length scales. This underlying microstructure determines the mechanical properties of the material. This book presents the particularly dramatic and compelling case of shape-memory alloys, technologically important materials, beautifully explaining the link between microstructure and macroscopic properties. A sample wire of shape memory materialis included with the book.
