2-0 out of 5 stars Great fundamental book, but REALLY bad version
I had the second edition of Porter and Easterling and lost it between moves.I thought the new edition would be updated and have some great new information in it.I was REALLY wrong.The new author has removed some good information that was in the previous edition and the errors in this edition are appalling.Equations are derived incorrectly or the final equation is wrong.It is clear that no one went through this new edition and edited it.If you are going to purchase the book, I would recommend getting the second edition.I am not sure if the end of the chapter problems are the same, but it really isn't worth buying.I wish I could return this and buy the second edition.

1-0 out of 5 stars Too many errors!
This book was not edited properly.There are errors every couple of pages and many equations are wrong in the text, problems, and even solutions.If you have to get this book for a class, make sure you get the next printing which will be out in March.

1-0 out of 5 stars Lacking depth and some areas were copied from Reed-Hill & Shewmon
We used this textbook for a graduate level course.

My first observation was that a lot of the content in this book was copied from other sources without directly giving credit to the original authors.One example is where Reed-Hill credits an original paper whereas these authors just copied it from Reed-Hill and omitted the citation.There are other examples where they copied content directly from Shewmon.

As mentioned above, some content is copied from other sources and this wouldn't be as bad if it weren't for the fact that in most cases they copied the end result without fully explaining the concepts behind it.This can take a lot of your time away from you if you try to derive a formula on your own.I was usually forced to refer to other books when I found myself having a hard time understanding a section or a formula.Sometimes an attempt at an explanation is made but it is not sufficient to explain how the author arrived at the formula or concept.If you are accustomed to textbooks that show you how formulas are derived, this isn't the textbook for you.To make matters worse, some formulas throughout the book are incorrect (and its the 3rd edition!).

The arrangement of the book can sometimes get confusing and you often have to backup and re-read sections to make sure that you are not mixing concepts. I often had to go back to other textbooks and read their sections on a subject and then re-read this book (and then it finally made sense).

For my kinetics of phase transformations course, which was very rigorous, I had to suplement this book with other textbooks:Physical Metallurgy Principles by Robert E. Reed-Hill & Reza Abbascian, Diffusion in Solids by Paul Shewmon, and various research papers or lecture notes to fully understand all of the concepts.

Editorial Review

Product Description
In the decade since the first edition of this popular text was published, the metallurgical field has undergone rapid developments in many sectors. Nonetheless, the underlying principles governing these developments remain the same. A textbook that presents these advances within the context of the fundamentals is greatly needed by instructors in the field

Phase Transformations in Metals and Alloys, Second Edition maintains the simplicity that undergraduate instructors and students have come to appreciate while updating and expanding coverage of recently developed methods and materials. The book is effectively divided into two parts. The beginning chapters contain the background material necessary for understanding phase transformations - thermodynamics, kinetics, diffusion theory and the structure and properties of interfaces. The following chapters deal with specific transformations - solidification, diffusional transformation in solids and diffusionless transformation. Case studies of engineering alloys are incorporated to provide a link between theory and practice. New additions include an extended list of further reading at the end of each chapter and a section containing complete solutions to all exercises in the book

Designed for final year undergraduate and postgraduate students of metallurgy, materials science, or engineering materials, this is an ideal textbook for both students and instructors. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Textbook
This is an excellent college/graduate level textbook.It covers all aspects of phase transformations.The book treats phase transformations in its broadest sense, beginning with 250 pages of background physical metallurgy, covering: thermodynamics, phase diagrams, diffusion, crystal interfaces, and solidification.With this background, it then goes on to diffusional and diffusionless transformations.The book is thus more of a text on physical metallurgy, as opposed to being restricted to only transformations per, se.It is on the theoretical side, as opposed to a book that contains primarily data.This is an excellent book for upper level and graduate students of metallurgy and materials science, as well as physicists who need to know about solid-state transformations.It is a good book for practicing engineers who want a solid scientific background, but would not be a good choice if all they wanted were data.There is a more recent, third edition, of this book.

5-0 out of 5 stars Smooth transaction
Book was in excellent condition, timely shipping. Couldn't ask for more. As for the book itself, I personally dislike it (dense, lack of examples, hard to comprehend)

I received my purchase in a timely manner and the book was in great condition. I am pleased with my purchase. Thank you

5-0 out of 5 stars Best quality/price ratio
The Porter & Easterling bookis the best help to organize a course on Phase Transformations or Physical Metallurgy. The low cost allows students to buy it. Edited first in 1981, onlyminor corrections were introduced in the second edition, but the contents are still up to date.

Editorial Review

Product Description
Drawn from the author's introductory course at the University of Orsay, Superconductivity of Metals and Alloys is intended to explain the basic knowledge of superconductivity for both experimentalists and theoreticians. These notes begin with an elementary discussion of magnetic properties of Type I and Type II superconductors. The microscopic theory is then built up in the Bogolubov language of self-consistent fields. This text provides the classic, fundamental basis for any work in the field of superconductivity. ...

3-0 out of 5 stars Too advanced for the average Joe
When I saw this book, I thought I had found a book that would explain Superconductivity in a manor that I could experiment with in my spare time. Obviously this book is written for those who have a good background in Theory and college level math; not the weekend garage inventor. With so many formulas to swim through I was lost in references that I had never heard of, not to mention could even put to use with my limited knowledge of the subject. For those out there wanting something simpler, look for a book with more illustrated pictures of the formulas in action and not entire pages of numbers, sub-typed Greek letters and squiggly line graphs.

5-0 out of 5 stars Everlasting standard for textbook in physics
It is not possibly the best superconductivity book I have ever read, it is certainly an everlasting standard for a texbook in physics. The generations of superconductivity researchers, including myself, have grown up as scientists upon reading this book. Even now, in the era of high temperature superconductivity, someone new in the field should read this book first.

5-0 out of 5 stars review of De Gennes, Superconductivity of metals and alloys
Possibly the best superconductivity book I have ever read. He covers GL equations excellently - he builds them up from Landau theory of phase transitions, by constructing them using the Helmholtz free energy. As far as the microscopic theory goes, BCS is brought from the very beginnings, in a methodical, logical mannar. The book is, however, a little mathematical for most people's tastes. A fair knowledge of quantum mechanics is needed before this book should be read (for example: Dirac notation, matix algebra to mention a few).

I am interested in superconductivity and diffusion of superconductivity. I am studying superconductuvitiy and elektrodiffusion. ... Read more

Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan
Editorial Review

Product Description
This book presents a survey of all the theoretical techniques needed to calculate a pressure-temperature phase diagram of a pure metal, or a composition-temperature phase diagram of a binary alloy, from first principles, that is, starting with the Hamiltonian of the system and with no other input except the atomic mass and the atomic number. The text begins with the elementary approach to the effective ionic forces in metals and alloys based on the pseudopotential and linear-response theories. The greater part of the book is concerned with the s,p-bonded or simple metals to which these theories apply. Transition and rare-earth metals and the tight-binding or band-theory methods required to describe them are treated only briefly. The statistical-mechanical and lattice-dynamical methods used to describe the liquid state and a vibrating crystal at finite temperatures are developed in detail. All scientists concerned with the structural and thermal properties of metals and alloys should find this book of interest. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
Direct strip casting is a continuous casting process for producing metallic sheet directly from the molten state that minimises the need for substantial secondary processing. This important book is the first to review the implications of strip casting technology for a range of alloys, including carbon and stainless steel, aluminium, magnesium, titanium, copper and other non-ferrous alloys. ??

The book is divided into six chapters, with the first two describing the physical metallurgy of candidate alloys for direct strip casting and the development of microstructure during solidification. Chapter 3 describes the principles of continuous casting processes and the evolution of direct strip casting. It provides the foundation for the following two chapters which describe process variables and their impact on microstructure and strip quality. The final chapter describes possible techniques in secondary processing and fabrication of the as-cast strip. Two appendices discuss simulation and modelling issues, and the measurement and representation of textures in metal strip. ??

Direct strip casting of metals and alloys will be a standard reference on a technology destined to have a profound impact on the manufacturing landscape of the twenty-first century. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
This work is a classic reference text for metallurgists, material scientists and crystallographers. The first edition was published in 1965.The first part of that edition was revised and re-published in 1975 and again in 1981. The present two-part set represents the eagerly awaited full revision by the author of his seminal work, now published as Parts I and II.


Professor Christian was one of the founding fathers of materials science and highly respected worldwide. The new edition of his book deserves a place on the bookshelf of every materials science and engineering department.


Suitable thermal and mechanical treatments will produce extensive rearrangements of the atoms in metals and alloys, and corresponding marked variations in physical and chemical properties. This book describes how such changes in the atomic configuration are effected, and discusses the associated kinetic and crystallographic features.It deals with areas such as lattice geometry, point defects, dislocations, stacking faults, grain and interphase boundaries, solid solutions, diffusion, etc. The first part covers the general theory while the second part is concerned with descriptions of specific types of transformations.
