✦ Synopsis

3rd edition. — ASM International, 2013. — 350 p.

This book is an important, single-source text covering the basic principles of failure analysis, with examples using common metals and components. Moreover, the author has taken a very important topic and provided a well-researched book that presents subtle insights, balancing theory and practice. In the text, descriptions of major failure modes in chapters are so well-encapsulated, they probably could be read in random order without loss. From the brittle fracture of Liberty ships to the high-temperature corrosion of gas turbine blades, the author covers a wide spectrum of failures caused by problems in design, materials, processing, route, manufacture, installation, operation, and maintenance.
