This issue presents to the reader's attention the research results in the sphere of structural metals properties, some luminescence materials for optoelectronics and materials for environmental protection. The publication contains many study results on steel, alloys and superalloys properties. Methods of powder metallurgy for superalloys synthesis, additive manufacturing with superalloys, the effect of heat treatment of structural metals on microstructure, and analysis of their mechanical properties, etc., are the main thematical direction. This edition will be helpful to specialists in materials science.
The 41st volume of the journal "Advanced Engineering Forum" contains peer-reviewed manuscripts presenting the engineering solutions and research results dealing with contemporary problems in materials science and processing technologies in mechanical engineering and environmental engineering, issues of hot corrosion of thermal power equipment, and control techniques in distributed power systems of renewable energy power generation. The engineers and scientific investigators working in the various fields of modern production will find these articles helpful and attractive.
The major concern of this book is high-temperature corrosion; a form of surface disintegration that leads to high running costs, as well as to environmental and/or security problems.
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.
The present book provides a timely update to the current understanding of degradation processes in high-temperature materials, as related to chemical interactions with the environment.
The methods used to combat this degradation - particularly by means of protective coatings and surface treatments - are also analysed in detail.
