Metallurgy For The Non-Metallurgist is a good and informative book. It teaches a lot about the history of metallurgy as well. You can probably find a free pdf or cheaper used copy somewhere else though.
The concepts of nucleation and growth are covered in most introductory materials science textbooks. Callister covers this topic at an introductory level in chapter 10 of his book.
If you want to delve deeper, you should look for books on solid-solid or liquid-solid phase transformations and/or kinetics. I can give recommendations if you are interested.
Hardenability is also an important concept to understand for anyone working in the steel industry or designing things made out of steel. I would expect most companies in this field to have some sort of on the job training, or at least the contact info for someone at their heat treatment supplier who knows what they are talking about.
I think you are after something along the lines of Porter, Easterling, and Sherif. This book bridges thermodynamics and "pure" solidification theory pretty well.
If you are not a metallurgist I would suggest you start with an intro to metallurgy or materials science book. I used the book below when I got my metallurgical engineering degree and had the author as a professor. I thought he put most things in easy to understand terms.

Maybe something like this?
This one isn't too bad. http://www.amazon.com/Thermodynamics-Materials-Science-Second-Edition/dp/0849340659
Honestly, most thermo textbooks I've seen haven't been great
Im assuming you didnt bother to google this but here is an amazon link.....

A physics degree is more than adequate for this kind of work. Your day to day would likely consist of properties testing (mechanical properties like tensile strength and hardness most likely, but also perhaps corrosion, chemistry, creep, etc, depending on industry), microstructural analysis, and failure analysis. With a degree in physics you should be able to pick up an undergrad material science text like Callister and fill in the more applied science gaps in your education.
