Publisher said:
This revised third edition of a bestselling metallurgy text examines the behaviour of materials under stress and their reaction to a variety of hostile environments. It covers the entire scope of mechanical metallurgy, from an understanding of the continuum description of stress and strain, through crystalline and defect mechanisms of flow and fracture, and on to a consideration of major mechanical property tests and the basic metalworking process. It has been updated throughout, SI units have been added, and end-of-chapter study questions are included.

Professor Dieter's Mechanical Metallurgy is a fabulous text for engineering students, both in undergraduate and graduate studies, but equally as important to practicing engineers. The 3rd Edition is quite invaluable covering the complete realm of mechanical metallurgy for both material scientists and mechanical engineers as well. This text should be a required teaching tool for engineering students, or at the very least, a highly valuable reference.
