More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Building on the success of previous editions, this book continues to provide engineers with a strong understanding of the three primary types of materials and composites, as well as the relationships that exist between the structural elements of materials and their properties. The relationships among processing, structure, properties, and performance components for steels, glass–ceramics, polymer fibers, and silicon semiconductors are explored throughout the chapters. The discussion of the construction of crystallographic directions in hexagonal unit cells is expanded. At the end of each chapter, engineers will also find revised summaries and new equation summaries to reexamine key concepts.
From the Back Cover
The leading source for learning materials science and engineering
Bill Callister’s text is the number one choice for learning materials science and engineering. Why? Because it delivers lucid explanations, thorough and up–to–date coverage, and outstanding art and learning resources. Now revised, this 7th Edition continues to promote student understanding of the three primary types of materials (metals, ceramics, and polymers) and composites, as well as the relationships between the structural elements of materials and their properties.
New to the Seventh Edition
- A number of new “Materials of Importance” pieces (for most chapters).
- Concept Check questions throughout.
- Revised illustrations, now all in full–color to enhance visualization and convey realism.
- Expanded discussions on material types and general properties of materials (Chapter 1), and crystallographic directions and planes in hexagonal crystals (Chapter 3).
- New discussions on one–component (pressure–temperature) phase diagrams, compacted graphite iron, lost foam casting, fractography of ceramics, and magnetic anisotropy.
- Enhanced discussions on representations of polymer structures and defects in polymers, and a new discussion on permeability in polymers.
- Revised coverage of deformation of semicrystalline polymers and polymerization.
Online Animations and Learning Modules
The book companion site (www.wiley.com/college/callister) features learning modules with animations and 3–D projections that help students visualize challenging concepts and processes. The website also includes an interactive database of materials properties and costs. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The parts of the book they give you are fine, but the publisher is greedy at the students expense. First off, the last five chapters are NOT included in the text! You have to go 'online' to get them. I bought a new copy with the access code, there is no longer any CD that comes with it, it is all 'online'. I use quotes b/c 'online' means registering your info with the publisher and then being allowed to get the material. I did this and had to carefully avoid checking all the right boxes to avoid spamming, which still didn't stop it. But after all that is done, they send you a confirmation email, an email I didn't get. Gmail might rightfully trash this companies emails. The result is denial of trying to register a second time with the same code, and nullification of that code if you don't authenticate within a week. So now I don't have access to any of the material and have to pay for the price of the book again to get a new access code. My other choice is to fail the quizzes!
If you are a student, don't buy this book for reference, as it is incomplete, and the website will probably only function until the next edition comes out. You can't buy it used as you have to pay for the access anyway.
Professors who are interested, please do your students a favor and stay away from this book. If you like the way it works, look into using the sixth edition, as I am pretty sure it has every chapter in it even if it is slightly outdated and it is still sold on Amazon. Your students can also buy a used copy. Even if they buy a new copy, they don't risk being sucked dry from this greedy publisher.

I bought a second hand copy of the third edition, so I can't comment on the new online chapters that appear to be the main criticism of the book. What I can say is that the quality of the existing chapters is impressive. The material was suitable to entirely teach myself the syllabus of a second year undergraduate module in materials science as part of my mechanical engineering degree, whilst being refreshingly concise.

This book is a must have for anyone who is studying engineering. I have found it an invaluable source information as my lecturer in the subject is often confusing and the notes poor. I do have to agree sadly though with a past reviewer about the online portion. I registered online then didn't receive an email so now I am unable to access any of the online content. For this I am giving the book a 3, if only they could fix the web portion this book would be an easy 5.
