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.
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.
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.
