A comprehensive treatment of the chemistry and physics of mechanical hardness

Chemistry and Physics of Mechanical Hardness presents a general introduction to hardness measurement and the connections between hardness and fundamental materials properties.

Beginning with an introduction on the importance of hardness in the development of technology, the book systematically covers:

Indentation

Chemical bonding

Plastic deformation

Covalent semiconductors

Simple metals and alloys

Transition metals

Intermetallic compounds

Ionic crystals

Metal-metalloids

Oxides

Molecular crystals

Polymers

Glasses

Hot hardness

Chemical hardness

Super-hard materials

Chemistry and Physics of Mechanical Hardness is essential reading for materials scientists, mechanical engineers, metallurgists, ceramists, chemists, and physicists who are interested in learning how hardness is related to other properties and to the building blocks of everyday matter.
