Metastable, Mechanically Alloyed and Nanocrystalline Materials 2003
This volume comprises the proceedings of the 10th International Symposium on Metastable, Mechanically Alloyed and Nanocrystalline Materials, 2003. ISMANAM-2003 was held in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, from the 24th to the 28th August 2003. -
Metastable, Mechanically Alloyed and Nanocrystalline Materials 2002
This book comprises the proceedings of the 9th International Symposium on Metastable, Mechanically Alloyed and Nanocrystalline Materials (ISMANAM), which was held in Seoul, South Korea, from the 8th to the 12th September 2002. The 127 selected papers, from over 28 countries, which are presented here cover recent scientific discoveries in fundamental research as well as novel engineering applications in the fields of metastable and nanocrystalline materials. Many important issues concerning bulk metallic glasses, bulk nanocrystalline materials, mechanical alloying and mechanochemistry are discussed. -
High Temperature Corrosion in Molten Salts
Numerous commercial processes operate at temperatures exceeding 500 degrees Celsius. The materials used in high-temperature structures have design constraints which are in addition to those on materials used at, or near to, room temperature. These important additional constraints include time-dependent inelastic strain (creep), thermal stability of the microstructure and high-temperature corrosion. The addition of these constraints to those of low cost, strength, toughness, machinability, formability, weldability, and combinations of these, has led to the intensive development, over the past 50 years, of an extensive group of metallic materials: generally referred to as "high-temperature alloys".
