About the Author

Dr. Donald R. Askeland joined the University of Missouri-Rolla (now the Missouri University of Science and Technology) in 1970 after obtaining his Ph.D. in metallurgical engineering from the University of Michigan. His primary interest is teaching, which has resulted in a variety of campus, university and industry awards as well as the development of this well-respected text. Dr. Askeland is also active in research involving metals casting and metals joining. His focus is primarily in the production, treatment and joining of cast irons, gating and fluidity of aluminum alloys and optimization of casting processes. Additional work has concentrated on lost foam casting, permanent mold casting and investment casting. Much of his work is interdisciplinary, providing data for creating computer models and validation of such models. Dr. Wendelin Wright is a professor at Bucknell University with a joint appointment in the departments of mechanical engineering and chemical engineering. She received her B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. in materials science and engineering from Stanford University. Dr. Wright previously served as a faculty member at Santa Clara University. Her research interests focus on the mechanical behavior of materials, particularly those of metallic glasses. She is the recipient of the 2003 Walter J. Gores Award for Excellence in Teaching (Stanford University's highest teaching honor), a 2005 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers and a 2010 National Science Foundation CAREER Award. Dr. Wright is a licensed professional engineer in metallurgy in California and a fellow of ASM International.

Reviews

"Overall, I like the approach. Starting the chapters with "Have you Wondered..." can engage the student in wanting to learn more. Overall, I like the type and number of problems at the end of the chapter. The text has very good coverage and explanation on phase transformations, especially for metals. The text approaches phase transformations from a theoretical point of view, as a starting point, which allows the students to gain an understanding of what is happening (and to some extent why) when metals are given different thermal/mechanical processes. The inclusion of chapters on specific metals continues the coverage to allow students to have an understanding as well as some specific knowledge on major alloy systems they are likely to encounter."

"It is one of the best in this regard; thus I continue to use it. The book is an invaluable resource for the students. They [illustrations] are some of the best out there! I really cherish the design problem sections in each chapter. The illustrations are exceptional and I contend that it is a student-friendly resource. I have used Askeland's book more than any other in my 38 years of teaching."

"Students often comment that the book is good and easy to understand. I agree. The pace is good and definition of terms is good as well as the examples. I do feel that the material is written in a clear and coherent fashion and that there is a general flow between topics and sections with nice subdivisions and such and good visual appeal. Illustrations are good and very clear. I find them very useful!"

"This book continues to be excellent and competitive."
