can you please suggest me good books for material science and metallurgy
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Try B.V. Kodgire Material science and meta.. or RAGHAVAN of Prentice hall.
 
Refer S. H. Avner - Physical Metallurgy.
& Mechanical Metallurgy - G. E. Dieter and lastly Raghavan.
V.B. Kodgire is not that good for conceptual understanding of the subject.
 
hi, see for very conceptual understanding, i wud really like u to go thru " material science - by Degarmo, Black, Kosher (wiley pub.)".

It clears all doubts and so u dnt hv to remember anything, just few concepts and u r good to go..

its a really good book...
