Customer Reviews:

May be great reference, but not good for learning.......2007-05-04

It has been three years since I had taken a material science-like course. So, I had hoped, that by opening this book, I would relearn the concepts I had forgotten.

Focus:
An intense look at the physcial metallurgy of metals, beginning with methods, going to crystallography, phase diagrams, and focusing on specific metals (iron-carbon, steels, etc.).

Good:
This book goes into great details. Metallography, crystallography are explained, many concepts are in great depth.

Bad:
This is absolutely not a good book if you don't know much on the subject or are rusty (like me). A lot of time is spent on the intricacies on microscopy. Many of the concepts are presented in too much detail. I feel that instead of learning about the properties of materials and material selection that I spend most of the time learning about every detail involved in the creation of dislocations. While this is very informative, as an engineer, I need to be able to select apropos materials, not spout how an electron microscope works or the fine details in edge dislocation. Homework problems are odd. And would it hurt if the pictures could have been colored?

Overall:
Again, good reference. Bad at teaching or reteaching you material science.

Very good foundation.......2000-06-24

I believe that this book is an excellent text for understanding physical metallurgy for the beginner . This is also an excellent reference manual for later information.

Book Description

This book covers all aspects of Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process technology from the characterizing and preparing the substrate material, through deposition processing and film characterization, to post depostion processing. The emphasis of the book is on the aspects of the process flow that are critical to economical deposition of films that can meet the required performance specifications.

The book covers subjects seldom treated in the literature: Substrate characterization, adhesion, cleaning and the processing. The book also covers the widely discussed subjects of vacuum technology and the fundamentals of individual deposition processes. However, the author uniquely relates these topics to the practical issues that arise in PVD processing, such as contamination control and film growth effects, which are also rarely discussed in the literature. In bringing these subjects together in one book, the reader can understand the interrelationship between various aspects of the film deposition processing and the resulting film properties. The author draws upon his long experience with developing PVD processes and troubleshooting the processes in the manufacturing environment, to provide useful hints for not only avoiding problems, but also for solving problems when they arise. He uses actual experiences, called "war stories:, to emphasize certain points. Special formatting of the text allows a reader who is already knowledgeable in the subject to scan through a section and find discussions that are of particular interest. The author has tried to make the subject index as useful as possible so that the reader can rapidly go to sections of particular interest. Extensive references allow the reader to pursue subjects in greater detail if desired.

The book is intended to be both an introduction for those who are new to the field and a valuable resource to those already in the field. The discussion of transferring technology between R&D and manufacturing provided in Appendix 1, will be of special interest to the manager or engineer responsible for moving a PVD product and process from R&D into production. Appendix 2 has an extensive listing of periodical publications and professional societies that relate to PVD processing. The extensive Glossary of Terms and Acronyms provided in Appendix 3 will be of particular use to students and to those not fully conversant with the terminology of PVD processing or with the English language.

Key Features:

- Covers widely discussed subjects of vacuum technology and the fundamentals of individual deposition processes, showing their relation to the practical issues that arise every day in PVD processing.

- Special format of the text allows a reader who is already knowledgeable in a particular subject to skim through a section and find essential points of particular interest.

- Especially detailed index helps readers find what they are looking for, plus a huge glossary of terms and acronyms in the industry.

Disorganized technical reading..........2006-01-12

Although this book has accurate technical content, the organization is ill-thought and amounts to little more than numerous papers stapled together under a pretty cover.

PVD from A to Z.......2004-06-03

If you are new to PVD as I am, you will find this book to be well worth the money. If the book doesn't give you enough details on what you are interested in, it will give you a ton of references to get you in the right direction. As a graduate student working on different PVD techniques including RF Sputtering, Thermal Evaporation, Electron Beam Evaporation, and Arc Deposition I use this book all the time. The only drawback is that it is huge but I liked it so much, I simply bought a copy for the lab and a copy for home.

Practical Handbook from a very practical man. .......2002-05-28

This is a valuable Handbook for people working in related industries, universities and research institutes.

Mr. Donald M. Mattox is a highly respectable expert in this field.
He still actively giving knowledge about PVD in many places around the Internet.

Thanks Mr. Mattox for his valuable book and his free advice to all of us.

Excellent Review of Electroplating. Editing needs work........2007-06-03

I have read through about a third of this book in an effort to update my electroplating knowledge and learn about some areas of electroplating I don't normally practice.

Generally speaking, this is an excellent review of the field and has been updated to include information on additive use in copper electroplating and developments in alloy electroplating for electronics.

On the downside, the editing of the book as a whole seems to be non-existent. The quality of individual chapters varies widely. This leaves me with the impression that Schlesinger and Paunovic only checked to see if the chapters were written in English and stopped at that point. Some chapters are a delight to read (like the chapter on palladium) while others are peppered with typographical errors, missing equations and such like things (e.g. the chapter on chromium). Also the varying values of Faraday's constant throughout the book indicates that no effort was made to enforce consistency of constants and units throughout the book. I was so irritated by this that I spent two or three hours finding out exactly what Faraday's constant should be (it's 96,485.3 Coulombs/mole). I found a good explanation of Faraday's constant on [...]

Book Description

The Extraction and Refining of Metals provides a novel approach to the science and technology of both ferrous and non-ferrous metal production. Rather than the traditional treatment in which one metal at a time is considered, this new approach, which examines several metals at a time, reveals more clearly the versatility and limitations of each of the main types of process. The restrictions imposed on the selection of the process routes by thermodynamic and kinetic factors and by economic and environmental constraints are examined in detail. The conservation of energy and materials is emphasized and illustrated by the description of new and improved extraction methods. The types of mathematical models that are being developed for computer control of production operations are indicated, and worked examples demonstrate relevant thermodynamic and mass balance calculations.

great reference.......2000-03-30

This book is a very good general reference on aluminum alloys. Some of the material is a little outdated, but for the most part it's a good background book on characteristics of most aluminum alloys, mechanical properties, and physical metallurgy - pretty much just what the title says. There's not a whole lot of detail on mechanical behavior, but there are sweeping generalizations (I mean that in a useful way) that are usually enough to get you started on whatever you are investigating.
