Chemical Metallurgy
About This Book
Chemical Metallurgy, Second Edition provides the fundamental chemical principles and demonstrates the application of these principles to process metallurgy, materials synthesis and processing, and corrosion protection. The book consists of nine chapters. The first five chapters emphasize the fundamental chemical principles involved in metallurgical reactions. An additional chapter on slag chemistry has also been added in this second edition in order to provide a more thorough understanding of slag-metal reactions. The final three chapters focus on the applications of the chemical principles to the extraction and refining of metals, metal melting and recycling, and metallic corrosion. The book will be of value to materials students and teachers and scientists and engineers entering employment in the metallurgical and materials processing and metal finishing industries.
