Description
Book SynopsisThe first book entirely dedicated to the topic emphasizes the relation between basic research and actual processing technologies. As such, it covers complex microstructures down to the nanometer scale, structure/property relationships and potential applications in key industries.
From the contents:
* Constitution
* Thermophysical Constants
* Phase Transformations and Microstructures
* Deformation Behaviour
* Strengthening Mechanisms
* Creep
* Fracture Behaviour
* Fatigue
* Oxidation Resistance and Related Issues
* Alloy Design
* Ingot Production and Component Casting
* Powder Metallurgy
* Wrought Processing
* Joining
* Surface Hardening
* Applications and Component Assessment
Trade Review“To summarize, this book is not only useful as a reference book for industrial users, but also as a textbook for students. It should really not be missing in any university library.” (Materials and Corrosion, 1 November 2012)
