A timely, applications-driven text in thermodynamics Materials Thermodynamics provides both students and professionals with the in-depth explanation they need to prepare for the real-world application of thermodynamic tools. Based upon an actual graduate course taught by the authors, this class-tested text covers the subject with a broader, more industry-oriented lens than can be found in any other resource available. This modern approach: Reflects changes rapidly occurring in society at large—from the impact of computers on the teaching of thermodynamics in materials science and engineering university programs to the use of approximations of higher order than the usual Bragg-Williams in s...
Treatise on Materials Science and Technology, Volume 4 covers the fundamental properties and characterization of materials, ranging from simple solids to complex heterophase systems. The book covers articles on advanced techniques by which thin films may be characterized; on diffusion in substitutional alloys; and on solid solution strengthening in face-centered cubic alloys. The text also includes articles on the thermodynamics of binary ordered intermetallic phases; and the major aspects of metal powder processing. Professional scientists and engineers, as well as graduate students in materials science and associated fields will find the book invaluable.
The papers included in this issue of ECS Transactions were originally presented in the symposium ¿Physical and Analytical Electrochemistry General Session¿, held during the 215th meeting of The Electrochemical Society, in San Francisco, CA from May 24 to 29, 2009.
This thesis is a study of the interfacial stability of the Ti-Base metal matrix composites Ti/Al2O3, Ti3Al/Al2O3 and TiAl/Al2O3. Interfacial stability is discussed in view of the importance of thermodynamics and kinetics as the primary considerations which govern the type of stability observed. From a thermodynamics approach, the application of phase equilibrium diagrams is essential in the design of composite systems. A classification system, with reference to phase equilibrium, is used to describe the type of interfacial stability observed for the composites studied. In addition, electron-probe microanalysis, atom-probe field ion microscopy and X-ray diffraction results are used to establish Ti-Al-O phase relations for the temperature range 900-to-1250 deg C. The kinetics of interfacial stability is discussed with particular attention given to the kinetic considerations; diffusion path, phase formation sequence, steady-state layer growth and interface morphology. Kinetic results in the form of parabolic growth constants and calculated interdiffusion coefficients are presented.
A comprehensive treatment of the chemistry and physics of mechanical hardness Chemistry and Physics of Mechanical Hardness presents a general introduction to hardness measurement and the connections between hardness and fundamental materials properties. Beginning with an introduction on the importance of hardness in the development of technology, the book systematically covers: Indentation Chemical bonding Plastic deformation Covalent semiconductors Simple metals and alloys Transition metals Intermetallic compounds Ionic crystals Metal-metalloids Oxides Molecular crystals Polymers Glasses Hot hardness Chemical hardness Super-hard materials Chemistry and Physics of Mechanical Hardness is essential reading for materials scientists, mechanical engineers, metallurgists, ceramists, chemists, and physicists who are interested in learning how hardness is related to other properties and to the building blocks of everyday matter.
