Wiley-Blackwell Joining Processes: An Introduction

Joining processes are a fundamental requirement in the engineering sector. The continuing integration of polymer technology, ceramic science and metallurgy into materials science has created the need for this new text Designed for materials science and engineering students, this text provides an integrated treatment of methods of component assembly and joining processes. Mechanical, chemical and physical methods are covered, together with introductory treatments of surface science and the mechanics of joints. The book includes working examples, chapter summaries, colour diagrams and equations for highlighting key concepts. Synopsis Joining processes are a fundamental requirement in the engineering sector.
