  • Hume-Rothery Rules for Structurally Complex Alloy Phasesby Uichiro Mizutani

    CRC Press 2010; US$ 89.95

    Written by Uichiro Mizutani, a renowned authority on Hume-Rothery rules, this book focuses on the stability mechanism of structurally complex phases, beginning with the history, development, and final approach to the goal. It begins with a description of the history of the establishment of the Hume-Rothery rules from 1920s to 1930s and introduces basic theories for allow phase stability. The author describes the long-lasting controversial issues regarding the rules, examining the questions that have been solved and those that have not. more...

  • Introduction to Thermodynamics of Materialsby David Gaskell

    Taylor & Francis 2003; US$ 129.95

    This book serves as an introduction to the thermodynamic behaviour of materials systems, where a materials system is any assemblage of solids, liquids and/or gases, which occupies space. The book is organised in three sections; techniques, more...

  • Lecture Notes On Equilibrium Point Defects And Thermophysical Properties Of Metalsby Y Kraftmakher

    World Scientific 2000; US$ 101.40

    Despite the significant progress in the study of point defects in metals, some important problems still do not have unambiguous solutions. One of the most practically important questions relates to equilibrium defect concentrations. There exist two opposite viewpoints: (1) defect contributions to physical properties of metals at high temperatures are small and cannot be separated from the effects of anharmonicity; the equilibrium defect concentrations at the melting points are in the range of 10-4 to 10-3; (2) in many cases, defect contributions to the specific heat of metals are much larger than nonlinear effects of anharmonicity and can be separated without crucial errors. more...

  • Extractive Metallurgy of Rare Earthsby C.K. Gupta; N. Krishnamurthy

    CRC Press 2004; US$ 159.95

    The field of the rare earths is fascinating. Important research and development work continues globally to explore and establish ways and means to put the rare earths to use, individually and collectively, in the service of humankind. In terms of rare earth reserves, India ranks among the top ten countries of the world. Indian rare earth research and industry date back to the 1950s and have been based on the monazite available in the beach sands of the eastern and the southern parts of the country. more...

  • Mechanical Alloyingby P.R. Soni

    Cambridge International Science Publishing 2001; US$ 80.00

    From the initial laboratory successes in 1968, the process of mechanical alloying has been developed into a well-controlled production operation over the years, and applied to develop varieties of materials. Being a new field, there is a wealth of recent scientific literature available but all information is scattered. more...

  • Handbook of Mechanical Alloy Designby George E. Totten; Lin Xie; Kiyoshi Funatani

    Marcel Dekker Inc 2003; US$ 279.95

    Considering risk-based metallurgical design, this title extensively details various alloy design principles and techniques, including strategies with tool steel, high-strength alloy steels, cast iron, magnesium, titanium alloys and many others. more...

  • Modeling and Simulation for Material Selection and Mechanical Designby George E. Totten; Lin Xie; Kiyoshi Funatani

    Marcel Dekker Inc 2003; US$ 39.95

    This book describes modelling and simulation strategies for alloy selection and mechanical property design. It illustrates designs for various components and fastening systems and considers tribology and the design of surface engineered materials for cutting tool applications. more...

  • Iron and Steel Industry in 2002by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development

    Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2004; US$ 58.00

    What are the trends in the iron and steel industry in 2002 for OECD countries, for certain central and eastern European countries in transition, for selected New Independent States and a few other countries that have observer status in the Steel Committee? This annual publication provides statistical tables showing steel production, consumption and trade data, as well as other indicators of activity such as employment levels, annual investment expenditures by sector and by country, export prices, domestic prices and indices for certain iron and steel products. more...

  • Mechanical Alloying And Millingby Sury Suryanarayana

    Taylor & Francis 2004; US$ 199.95

    This book surveys the broad field of mechanical alloying from a scientific and technological perspective to form a timely and comprehensive resource valuable to both students and researchers. The treatment progresses from the historical background through a description of the process, the different metastable effects produced, and the mechanisms of phase formation to applications of mechanically alloyed products. The presentation is straightforward and easy to understand but does not compromise the scientific accuracy. It includes an unusually extensive listing of the results of different metastable effects obtained in various alloy systems along with thorough references in each chapter. more...

  • Secondary Steelmakingby Ahindra Ghosh

    CRC Press 2000; US$ 119.95

    Ghosh (emeritus, materials and metallurgical engineering, Indian Institute of Technology) discusses the principles and applications relevant to secondary steelmaking processes, which are aimed at producing steel of superior quality through further refining and processing after the primary steelmaking is done. These secondary processes include deoxi more...
