Mechanical Alloying
Mechanical Alloying has recently been gathering world wide attention as a means of producing metastable and non-equilibrium alloy phases. There is a large potential for producing amorphous alloys by this technique. Mechanical alloying is also well suited for the production of nano-crystalline materials and oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) superalloys, as well as for the synthesis of metal nitrides and hydrides. -
Impurity Diffusion in Metals
The systematic investigation of self-diffusion and impurity diffusion in metals began as a result of the availability of a wide variety of artificial radio- isotopes following the Second World War. During the following years, rapid advances in the theory of solid-state diffusion and the ever-increasing number of experimental data were comprehensively described in any number of textbooks and review papers. But impurity diffusion in metals was more or less superficially treated in the textbooks, and some of the review papers, with the result that - even up to now - a comprehensive review of the correct interpretation of impurity diffusion in metals has been lacking. -
Local Lattice Rotations and Disclinations in Microstructures of Distorted Crystalline Materials
The last few years have witnessed a rapidly growing interest in the explanation and interpretation of the mesoscale microstructures which occur in distorted crystalline objects such as, for instance, conventional plastically deformed metals and alloys, as well as high-performance materials including ultra-fine grained polycrystals, nanocrystals and thin films. -

Synthesis, Processing, and Modelling of Advanced Materials
The volume presents the results of the 2nd ASM Paris conference on advanced materials. The theme of the meeting was selected to recognize that materials have matured to a stage where significant advances in the future require more than the traditional microstructure-mechanical property relationships approach. Greater emphasis must rahter be placed on synthesis/processing and modelling of advanced materials to achieve enhanced levels of physical and mechanical performance. -
Hydrogen Metal Systems II
Understanding the behaviour of hydrogen in metals is one of the most pressing research tasks in the physical sciences. The embrittling effect of hydrogen in mild steel was recognised from the very beginnings of the Industrial Revolution, and its effects still plague modern alloys during either fabrication or use. At the same time, the tendency of certain alloys to form stable hydrides in a reversible manner holds out the promise of the safe storage of hydrogen in vehicles and therefore the prospect of non-polluting transport and a true 'hydrogen economy'. Researchers in this field will therefore welcome the publication of this 2-volume set, "Hydrogen Metal Systems I & II", which presents comprehensive information and critical data concerning ionic and metallic hydrides; all conveniently based upon a periodic-table layout.
