Treatise on Process Metallurgy

Treatise on Process Metallurgy: Volume 1: Process Fundamentals provides academics with the fundamentals of the manufacturing of metallic materials, from raw materials into finished parts or products. In these fully updated volumes, coverage is expanded into four volumes, entitled Process Fundamentals, encompassing process fundamentals, structure and properties of matter; thermodynamic aspects of process metallurgy, and rate phenomena in process metallurgy; Processing Phenomena, encompassing interfacial phenomena in high temperature metallurgy, metallurgical process phenomena, and metallurgical process technology; Metallurgical Processes, encompassing mineral processing, aqueous processing, electrochemical material and energy processes, and iron and steel technology, non-ferrous process principles and production technologies, and modelling; and Industrial Production, encompassing production technology, environmental aspects, and the future of process metallurgy. The work distills the combined academic experience from the principal editor and the multidisciplinary 4-member editorial board. Provides the entire breadth of process metallurgy in one work Includes in-depth knowledge of all key areas in the field of process metallurgy Approaches the topic from an inter-disciplinary perspective providing a broad range of coverage to the topics
