Materials Science and Technology, Processing of Metals and Alloys (Materials Science and Technology: A Comprehensive Treatment) (Volume 15)

Derived from the highly acclaimed series Materials Science and Technology, this book covers the properties as well as the present and emerging applications of intermetallics. Mechanical characteristics, microstructure as well as the environmental influence on intermetallics are treated in depth. In addition, the prospects and risks inherent in materials development as well as typical applications of intermetallics are critically assessed. It is the author's aim to provide the basis for understanding the physical mechanisms, which influence the properties of the materials and ultimately their areas of application. Materials covered include: Titanium Aluminides and Related Phases \* Nickel Aluminides and Related Phases \* Iron Aluminides and Related Phases \* Cu-Base Phases \* A15 Phases \* Laves Phases \* Rare-Earth Compound \* Beryllides \* Silicides Intermetallics is a valuable source of information for researchers and graduate students working in materials science, metallurgy, condensed-matter physics, and engineering.

Intermetallics is a valuable source of information for researchers and graduate students working in materials science, metallurgy, condensed-matter physics, and engineering. Steel represents one of the most often used, and versatile construction materials. This volume provides a unique overview of the various types of steel, their properties and applications. From the Microstructure and Transformations in Steel. Structure-Property Relationships in Steels/High Strength Low Alloy Steels. Nicholson/ Steelmaking and Non-Metallic Inclusions. Processing - Conventional Heat Treatments. Processing - Thermomechanical Controlled Processing. Processing - Cold Working and Annealing. Formable Steels. Medium/High Carbon Steels for Rails, Rods, Bars and Forgings. Naylor/ Heat Treated Engineering Steels. Creep Resisting Steels. Stainless Steels. Tool Steels. Iron, Nickel and Cobalt Based Superalloys and Heat Resistant Alloys. Cast Irons. The properties of metals and alloys, and thus their effectiveness in applications, are closely related to the processing methods applied. Metallurgists and other technologists involved with metals and alloys are provided with a unique overview of processing techniques and their effects. From the Solidification Processing. Rapid Solidification. Surface Modification by Lasers. Arunachalam/ Powder Metallurgy. Mechanical Milling and Alloying. Ion Implantation and Ion-Beam Mixing. The Epitaxy of Metals. Somekh/ Metallic Multilayers. Recrystallization and Recovery. Measurement and Control of Texture. de Bonte/Roos/ Electrodeposition of Metals and Alloys. Sahm/ Solidification Processing Under Microgravity.
