Foseco Non-Ferrous Foundryman's Handbook
Elsevier Science 1999; US$ 141.95The Non-Ferrous Foundryman's Handbook provides a practical reference book for all those concerned with dealing with aluminium, copper and magnesium casting alloys. International SI units are used throughout, but in almost all cases conversions to the more familiar Metric and Imperial units are given. Wherever possible, Casting Alloy Specifications... more...
Materials Processing Defects
Elsevier Science 1995; US$ 225.00The technological field of defects, and more appropriately, avoidance of them, is very current in perhaps all sectors of the manufacturing industry. This is particularly important to reduce/minimize waste everywhere to address lean production procedures. The recent advances in finite plasticity and visioplasticity, damage modelling, instability theories,... more...
Characterization of Corrosion Products on Steel Surfaces
Springer 2006; US$ 139.99Since the life of steel structures is often dominated by environmental degradation or surface corrosion, the structure of the rust formed on iron and steel surfaces is of great interest. Presenting selected examples, this book describes the aspects of materials characterization for the ferric oxyhydroxides formed on steel surfaces. more...
Silver Metallization
Springer 2007; US$ 129.99With the lowest resistivity of all metals, silver is an attractive interconnect material for higher current densities and faster switching speeds in integrated circuits. This book discuss the understanding of silver metallization and its potential as a interconnect material for integrated circuit technology. more...
Complex Inorganic Solids
Springer 2007; US$ 219.99Aiming to cut across the traditional taxonomy of disciplines in the study of alloys, this book highlights commonalities between different fields with respect to how alloys are studied. The papers are classified into categories, such as Microstructural Considerations, Kinetics and Diffusion, Magnetic Considerations and Elastic Considerations. more...
Bulk Metallic Glasses
Springer 2007; US$ 119.99"Bulk Metallic Glasses" are materials with many desirable properties, such as high strength, good hardness, wear resistance, and high corrosion resistance that can be produced in near net shape components. This work gives an overview and includes: the principles of alloy design, glass formation, atomistic modeling, computer simulations, and... more...
Physical Metallurgy of Direct Chill Casting of Aluminum Alloys
Taylor & Francis 2008; US$ 179.95Drawing directly from the author??'s own pioneering research, and providing the unique viewpoint of physical metallurgy, this book examines structure and defect formation -- including macrosegregation and hot tearing -- that occurs during direct chill casting. This metallurgic viewpoint, not found in other volumes, is especially useful in connecting... more...
Physical Metallurgy
Elsevier Science 1996; US$ 1,265.00This is the fourth edition of a work which first appeared in 1965. The first edition had approximately one thousand pages in a single volume. This latest volume has almost three thousand pages in 3 volumes which is a fair measure of the pace at which the discipline of physical metallurgy has grown in the intervening 30 years. Almost all the topics... more...
Ferrous Materials
Springer 2008; US$ 149.99The annual global production of ferrous materials exceeds the sum of all other metallic materials by more than one order of magnitude. The huge demand for ferrous materials is driven not only by costs and availability, but chiefly by their wide range of useful properties that can be tailored by alloying and processing. This book addresses these relationships... more...
Casting
Springer 2007; US$ 169.99For a long time, the die cast industry has used trial and error as a leading development method, resulting in tremendous growth in the utilisation of available CFD (computational fluid dynamics) software. This title provides knowledge of the governing laws of the fluid dynamics that have an effect on die cast die and die cast process design. more...
