Books by Keyword: Ferritic Steel

Description: This eleventh volume in the series covering the latest results in the field includes abstracts of papers which have appeared since the publication of Annual Retrospective X (Volume 272). As well as the 295 metals abstracts, the issue includes – in line with the new editorial policy of including original papers on all of the major material groups: “Structural and Electron-Hopping Studies of Pr- and Nd-Substituted La2/3Ba1/3MnO3 Manganites” (H.Abdullah and S.A.Halim), “Recrystallization Annealing of Cold-Rolled 9Cr-1Mo Ferritic Steel Containing Silicon” (M.N.Mungole, M.Surender, R.Balasubramaniam and S.Bhargava), “Quantitative Concept for Morphological Stability Analysis of Solid/Liquid Interface in Rapid Solidification of Dilute Binary Alloys” (M.Draissia), “Studies of the Spin Hamiltonian Parameters for NiX2 and CdX2:Ni2+ (X = Cl, Br) (Z.H.Zhang, S.Y.Wu, X.F.Wang and Y.X.Hu).

Description: Given that the basic purpose of all research in materials science and technology is to tailor the properties of materials to suit specific applications, phase transformations are the natural key to the fine-tuning of the structural, mechanical and corrosion properties. A basic understanding of the kinetics and mechanisms of phase transformation is therefore of vital importance. Apart from a few cases involving crystallographic martensitic transformations, all phase transformations are mediated by diffusion. Thus, proper control and understanding of the process of diffusion during nucleation, growth, oxidation, sintering, etc are essential for optimising the properties of materials to meet specific needs.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
Recent research on the creep and fracture of engineering materials is presented, with particular emphasis being placed on: mechanisms of high-temperature deformation and fracture, materials for high-temperature service, the behavior of single and polycrystals, components and structures, grain boundaries and interfaces, and superplasticity.
