High Temperature Corrosion in Molten Salts

Authors: César A. C. Sequeira

Online since: June 2003

Description: 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".

Functionally Graded Materials VII

Edited by: Wei Pan, Jianghong Gong, Lianmeng Zhang and Lidong Chen

Online since: May 2003

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
Functionally graded materials (FGMs) exhibit spatial variations, in composition and/or microstructure, which have been imposed for the specific purpose of controlling the resultant variations in the thermal, structural or functional properties.

High Temperature Corrosion and Protection of Materials 5

Edited by: R. Streiff, I.G. Wright, R.C. Krutenat, M. Caillet and A. Galerie

Online since: October 2001

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The degradation of materials and coatings in aggressive environments continues to be of great relevance to a wide range of industrial applications. The topic is of vital economic concern to the transportation, energy generation, and chemical processing industries in the developing, as well as the developed, nations of the world. The dual thrusts of conservation of resources and protection of the environment here strongly influence the tone of the technical submissions and thus again reflect the world-wide concern.

Durable Surfaces

Edited by: D.R. Mumm, M. Walter, O. Popoola and W.O. Soboyejo

Online since: January 2001

Description: This book presents ten chapters on the science and engineering of durable surfaces. The first section focusses on various types of surfaces and advanced coating processes, while the second part concentrates particularly on thermal barrier coatings. The book covers both, in-depth state-of-the-art reviews as well as cutting-edge new information emerging from ongoing research:

Bioceramics 13

Edited by: S. Giannini and A. Moroni

Online since: September 2000

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
Bioceramics 13 contains the proceedings of the 13th International Symposium on Ceramics in Medicine organized by the “International Society for Ceramics in Medicine”. This society is an established forum for distinguished material scientists, bioengineers, molecular and cellular biologists, bone biologists, orthopedic surgeons, clinicians and manufacturers, to gather together and discuss the latest achievements in the field of bioceramic materials.

Trends and New Applications of Thin Films

Edited by: Horst Hoffmann

Online since: August 1998

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The proceedings of this Symposium cover a broad range of areas concerned with thin film research and applications. Particular emphasis is placed on the properties of thin films and their final application in modern technology.

Sol-Gel Production

Edited by: Helmut Schmidt

Online since: February 1998

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
Sol-gel technology is an important route for the fabrication of inorganic and inorganic-organic composite materials. As is typical of chemical synthesis routes, a wide range of parameters can be used to tailor the product.

Surface Coatings for Advanced Materials

Edited by: R.P. Agarwala

Online since: January 1997

Description: Surface coatings are an important approach to changing surface properties for the requirements of a given application. Major areas of application include sensors, energy saving coatings for solar devices, absorbers/reflectors/emitters, cutting and forming tools, protective environment-resistant or decorative coatings, and information storage and micro-electronic devices. Surface coatings modified by ion or laser treatment will also be of great importance to the future of industrial technology.
