Book Description: The Dictionary of Metals is the authoritative reference work for terms and definitions of metals and terms relating to metals. It also includes a considerable amount of history starting with the seven metals of antiquity. Each of the metallic elements has a discussion that includes the discoverer and date, the naming of the metal and its meaning, the major applications, the significance of the discovery, and physical properties. Includes a timeline of important events in the history of metals and metallurgy.
Metals and Alloys Dictionary by Menahem Merlub-Sobel Pdf
PREFACE - Any new book, certainly one dealing with technical matters, ought to submit something akin to a "certificate of necessity. "While "necessity" is highly subjective, and capable of many shades of meaning, the plain fact of this case is that no concise dictionary of metallurgical terms, adapted to American needs, has hitherto been available. And so, if the need but be granted, the author may be permitted to hope that this volume, in greater or lesser measure, fills the void. Not that perfection is expected-the ideal may not even be prayed for in this all-too-imperfect world. Indeed, I realize that this book must inevitably contain at least a normal quota of error-sins of omission and commission both. For such, ignorance and/or carelessness must take full responsibility; in the interest of future editions, I shall be grateful for such corrections as may appear justified to the reader. No defense can be made, nor is any intended, for positive errors of commission. In a volume of this type, however, omissions may frequently reflect differing opinions as to what ought to be included. Probably no two students of metallurgy would quite agree on the scope of material to be presented. The problem here has been further complicated by a desire to serve, in this volume, lay workers at the bench and behind the torch no less than technologists with university training. As a consequence of this desire, many words and phrases in sciences peripheral to metallurgy have been included; setting a proper course has frequently been most difficult, threatened at once by the Scylla of incompleteness and the Charybdis of undue bulk. In its final form, this dictionary represents one man's effort at intelligent compromise. By its very nature, a dictionary can present little of new content. So many sources of information have found reflection in this volume that I am prevented from adequately acknowledging them; wherever possible, in fact, I have checked one source against another. Such metallurgical "demi-bibles" as Metals Handbook, Engineering Alloys (by Woldman and Dornblatt), and The Making, Shaping and Treating of Steel (by Camp and Francis) have served extensively as guides, and the reader is urged to refer to them and their technical congeners for amplification wherever this dictionary proves inadequate. The remarkably inclusive Engineering Alloys is particularly recommended for its listing and description of thousands of alloys which have not seemed important enough for description in this dictionary. There is only one exception to the generalization that nothing new has been presented. In the realm of the rare metals, where some of the published data are fragmentary, and some erroneous, I have drawn directly on my own specialized experience, and have included some amount of data hitherto un-blackened by printers' ink.
ASM Materials Engineering Dictionary by Joseph R. Davis,ASM International Pdf
The 10,000 entries (arranged from A to Z) are supplemeted by hundreds of figures (approximately 700) & tables (more than 150) that clearly demonstrate the principles & concepts behind important manufacturing processes, illustrate the important structures, or provide representative compositional & property data for a wide variety of ferrous & nonferrous materials, plastics, ceramics, composites (resin-metal-carbon-&-cermaic-matrix) & adhesives. "Technical Briefs" provide encyclopedic-type coverage for some 64 key material groups. Each Technical Brief contains a "Recommended Reading" list to guide the user to additional information.

This is a fully cross-referenced dictionary providing definitions of metallurgic terms, along with additional explanations, supplementary and complementary information. There are also useful tables detailing, for example, the physical properties of elements.
Dictionary of Physical Metallurgy by R. Freiwillig,K. Macek,K. Procházka,I. Saxl,V. Sklenicka,M. Šlesár Pdf
This dictionary reflects developments in physical metallurgy, namely the growth of strong ties to the physics of metals. Thus the terms relating to lattice defects and their properties and to laboratory tests revealing their effects on macroscopic behaviour of metallic materials, are extensively covered. Theory of dislocations and work hardening, high temperature deformation, fatigue and fracture, metallography and phase changes are all broadly covered, whilst terms related to technical operations such as heat and mechanical treatment as well as the corresponding equipment have been incorporated to a lesser extent. The work is based on the Dictionary of Scientific Terms from Physical Metallurgy published in parts during the years 1968-1976 in the Czechoslovak journal Metallic Materials and on its revised and extended version published in 1981 by Veda, the publishing house of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. The Czech and Slovak languages of the two preceding versions have been omitted, and Spanish has been included; the Russian part has been substantially complemented by synonyms. The dictionary provides university students, research workers and engineers with the vocabulary of basic terms used in this branch of science. It is also a useful tool for translators.
Dictionary of Materials and Testing by Joan Tomsic Pdf
Advances in the fields of materials and testing have introduced hundreds of concepts and terms. This second edition of the Dictionary of Materials and Testing, emphasizes "engineered" materials that can withstand stress or unusual environments for an extended period of time.
