Description: At the completion of one century of discovery of stainless steels, it is appropriate to take stock of the latest trends in wide ranging fields that relate to stainless steels. The book covers advances in all the major aspects related to stainless steels namely melting & refining, fabrication & forming, welding & joining, physical metallurgy, corrosion and its control and experience from use of stainless steels in various industries including newer varieties of stainless steels. The book will be a good source of information regarding various aspects of stainless steels.

Light Weight Metal Corrosion and Modeling

Edited by: Stefano Trasatti and Juliet Ippolito

Online since: October 2010

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The editors of this special volume made every effort to invite all of those corrosion specialists working in the field of lightweight alloys and, specifically, their modeling. Their expertise provided a basis upon which to discuss corrosion problems and solutions for Military and Aerospace Systems and Facilities; thus laying a solid foundation for the tackling of yet-unsolved issues. The use of lightweight metals and composites to replace heavy structural materials for military hardware and weapons systems (ships, aircraft, ground vehicles, etc.) is a new strategic consideration for defence forces; falling under Naval S&T Strategic Plans. The objectives of the workshop were to seek state-of-the-art ideas, from outside of the continental United States, in the field of low-density metallic materials and composites for structural applications, as well as modeling and simulation software tools which are capable of generating and identifying damage evolution data for health monitoring, corrosion control, life prediction and assessment of civil and military hardware systems. The result is an invaluable guide to this increasingly important topic.
