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".

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.

Probabilistic Methods in Fatigue and Fracture

Edited by: A.B.O. Soboyejo, I.R. Orisamolu, and W.O. Soboyejo

Online since: February 2001

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The present book presents an in-depth report on probabilistic methods used to study fatigue and fracture of engineering materials. It is divided into three sections: fatigue; reliability modeling; and statistical methods. The book will serve as a useful new reference on probabilistic methods in fatigue and fracture. It should be of interest to researchers and engineers in industry and academia.

Advanced Powder Technology II

Edited by: Lucio Salgado, Francisco Ambrozio Filho and Reginaldo Muccilo

Online since: February 2001

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The continuing growth of PM parts in a great number of applications has resulted in intense world-wide research and development efforts in the field. Recent advances in powder technology are presented in the areas of synthesis and processing of various ceramics, including electroceramics, biometarials and nanocomposites; powder production and compaction, sintering, processing and characterization of important alloys and metal matrix composites. Properties of particular interest are corrosion, mechanical and magnetic properties.

Durable Surfaces

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:

High Nitrogen Steels

Edited by: H. Hänninen, S. Hertzman, J. Romu

Online since: October 1999

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
High-nitrogen steels (HNS) are finding increased application in energy production, transportation, pulp and paper, oil and gas and chemical process industries, due to their outstanding mechanical properties as well as their corrosion/oxidation and wear resistance. The aim of this conference was to bring together experts from end-users (engineering and manufacturing companies), and participants from steel producers and research organizations, in order to exchange experience, scientific data and technical information regarding high-nitrogen steels.
