Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

This course text provides a practical hands-on introduction to the essentials of kinetics, thermodynamics and microstructure modelling of materials. It provides concise practical descriptions of kinetics and microstructure modelling, condensing the essential information into an engaging and accessible text. Class tested by graduate students, the book includes worked examples throughout and is supplemented with phase diagram calculation software to aid learning. This book is ideal as a practical course for final year undergraduates and masters students in materials science and engineering, and is a core text for courses on thermodynamics, phase diagrams, kinetics and microstructure modelling.
