Books by Keyword: Grain Growth

Description:

This issue is a collection of selected, peer-reviewed papers in the area of materials science and technologies of materials synthesis and processing. Selected papers were presented at the 6th International Conference on Advanced Materials Research and Manufacturing Technologies and 4th International Conference on Materials Science and Manufacturing Engineering (AMRMT and MSME 2021, November 5, 2021, virtual form) and the 4th International Conference on Metal Material Processes and Manufacturing (ICMMPM 2021, September 25-26, 2021).

Description: The general intention of this volume is to give the readers a wide overview of physical problems connected with the processes controlled by atomic migration and of the methods of their modelling. The collection is addressed to researchers and graduate students working in the field of diffusion and diffusion-controlled processes in condensed matter.

Description: The majority of materials, especially metals, are used in the form of polycrystals. It is well recognized that many properties of polycrystalline materials are determined by grain boundaries (GBs). Grain boundaries appreciably affect many practically important mechanical and physical properties of construction materials. Grain-boundary diffusion plays a key role in such practically important processes as Coble creep, sintering, diffusion induced grain boundary migration (DIGM), various discontinuous reactions, recrystallization and grain growth. The purpose of this Volume is to provide a collection of recent contributions in the field of structure, thermodynamics and diffusion properties of grain boundaries and interfaces. The Volume includes reviews of both experimental and theoretical studies carried out by well-recognized scientists whose publications are well-known and widely cited.

Metals, because of their inherent properties, have been in service to mankind from the Early Periods. Metal craft started turning into metal science in the 19th Century and got matured in 20th century. The present book, to the best of author’s memory, is the first attempt to present the history of metal science in one volume, covering both extractive and physical metallurgy. The book is aimed as a supplementary text book for students in metallurgy and materials science and also selectively for general readers. After a brief introduction (Chapter 1), the second and third chapters are devoted to extractive metallurgy. The chapters related to physical metallurgy (4th to 6th) are written in a sequence such that the description of structures is given first, before highlighting the properties of metals and alloys. The final chapter ‘Future Trends’ highlights various topics in contemporary metal science.

Recrystallization and grain growth are mechanisms that alter the microstructure without necessarily altering the phase. They are typically driven by high internal elastic and surface energies though sometimes other volumetric energy terms appear. The topic is important to materials engineers and scientists and geologists alike. The former typically aim to exert control over the phenomena for technological and economic benefit while the latter often seek in these mechanisms the answers to questions regarding events long gone. This collection of peer-reviewed papers brings together the most up-to-date knowledge in this field.

Recrystallization and grain growth are fundamental aspects of microstructure evolution during the annealing and thermomechanical processing of engineering materials. These static and dynamic phenomena are of major scientific interest and of great importance in a wide range of industrial processes and applications. This collection of peer-reviewed papers brings together the most up-to-date knowledge in this field.

Description: This supplemental volume presents additional proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Processing and Manufacturing of Advanced Materials - THERMEC’2011 - which was held during the 1-5 August 2011 in Quebec City, Canada. The conference brought together researchers and engineers/technologists working on aspects of the processing, fabrication, evaluation and applications of ferrous and non ferrous materials including biomaterials, and smart/intelligent materials, and the contents reflect the latest progress made in these fields.

The study of nanomaterials is an active area of 21st-century research in physics, chemistry and materials engineering as well as biomedical engineering. Nanomaterials which are defined as substances that are in the form of spherical dot, rod, thin plate or voids of any irregular shape, but smaller than 100nm, find wide application in materials science and technology due to their very distinctive properties as compared with their bulk counterpart.

Description: This useful collection presents fascinating reviews, and reports of recent investigations, related to advanced metallic, ceramic and composite structural materials. The topics covered include innovative processing techniques, phase transformations, mechanical properties and explorations of the relationship between processing methods, microstructure and mechanical behavior.
