Description: There are relatively few revolutions in the venerable and rather staid field of metallurgy. One can count among them the advent of metallic glasses, of superplastic metals, or of memory-alloys. The latest revolution involves the relatively staid topic of alloy formulation, but is all the more startling because the resultant materials break every long-cherished rule of alloy design. In particular, the famous empirical rules of Hume-Rothery are completely ignored. That is, in the archetypal high-entropy alloy, five metals are alloyed together in equal proportions regardless of atomic-size difference, valence or crystal structure. Commonsense would tell any experienced metallurgist that that could result only in a uselessly brittle mass of intermetallic compounds. But in a truly paradigm-shifting manner, Professor J.W.Yeh of Taiwan correctly predicted that a high configurational entropy could suppress the appearance of detrimental intermetallic compounds and lead to simple familiar microstructures having very useful properties. High-Entropy Alloys can exhibit, for instance, astounding hardness and strength and also have a very good corrosion resistance. The present book summarises the microstructures and properties of all of the high-entropy alloys.

Description: The current special section includes a collection of six articles, one review and five research articles, by well established researchers. The synthesis methods along with the approaches for functionalization of nanomaterials for a range of biomedical applications reported in the special issue will add value to the existing literature in fields of Biomedicine as well as Nanobioelectronics. This book will prove to be a timely and valuable reference for researchers in this area.

Description: This volume of the "Journal of Biomimetics, Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering" covers topical issue of biomimetic approach to the development of modern means of a wide range of industrial applications, the new solutions in the field of biomedical engineering and of pharmacological practice and also illuminates the results of the latest solutions in the field of development of biomaterials and their application.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This book comprises the proceedings of the Second International School on Mechanical Spectroscopy; presented here as invited lectures (Part I) and contributed papers (Part II). After having originated merely as a technique for the study of internal friction, mechanical spectroscopy has developed strongly, during the past decade, into a tool which is now indispensable for making advances in the creation of new materials. This book will therefore provide an excellent reference source for every researcher working in the field.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This book covers the principal topics of basic and applied research on diffusion-controlled transport phenomena in metals, ceramics and other systems. Particular attention is paid to diffusional mass transport, reactive diffusion, interdiffusion and phase transformations. Further attention is paid to the practical aspects of applying a deeper understanding of diffusion and reaction mechanisms to the development of materials with improved service properties.

The theory of interdiffusion, reactive diffusion and defect phenomena, the predictions of computer models, and other theoretical studies are extensively covered. Altogether, this again makes the present work an up-to-date and convenient source of information on current trends in the field of solid-state diffusion.

Description:

The proceedings of an International Conference "Diffusion in Metals and Alloys" (DIMETA-82, Hungary, September 1982) are related to physical metallurgy and are dedicated to researching various types of diffusion processes in metals and alloys, intermetallic compounds, amorphous metals, and heterogeneous systems. There are articles in this issue also devoted to grain boundary and surface diffusion phenomena, crystallographic defects, and novel experimental methods of diffusion phenomena study.
