Description: The topic of diffusion science becomes more and more important: this collection of timely papers is divided into seven chapters. The first three are dedicated to macroscopic and microscopic theories of diffusion.

Recrystallization and Grain Growth

Edited by: B. Bacroix, J.H. Driver, R. Le Gall, Cl. Maurice, R. Penelle, H. Réglé and L. Tabourot

Online since: October 2004

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
Recrystallization and grain growth, together with phase transformations such as precipitation, are the fundamental processes of microstructural evolution which take place during the thermomechanical processing of engineering materials. They are of major scientific interest and are of great importance in a wide range of industrial applications. One of the main goals of this two-volume set is to show how to cover the entire set of reactions governing recrystallization and grain growth during industrial processing – termed through process modelling.

High Temperature Corrosion and Protection of Materials 6

Edited by: Pierre Steinmetz, Ian G. Wright, Gerry Meier, Alain Galerie, Bernard Pieraggi and Renaud Podor

Online since: August 2004

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
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.

European Powder Diffraction 5

Edited by: R. Delhez and E.J. Mittemeijer

Online since: April 1998

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The EPDIC-5 Proceedings present the latest papers in this successful series of European Conferences on Powder Diffraction. They demonstrate the evergrowing interest from materials scientists, physicists, chemists, geologists - both industrial and academic- all having a direct interest in the practical application of this powerful and non-destructive method of analysis.
Part 1 comprises some 75 contributions, with sections on Methodological Developments, Development of Instruments and Techniques, Software, Synchrotron and Neutron Diffraction describing the latest ideas in these fields. Subjects such as Microstructure of Materials, Texture, Quantitative Phase Analysis and Crystal Structure Determination are also addressed; as in previous editions of these conference proceedings. An important step forward in materials analysis is now occurring: scientists and engineers are becoming more and more conscious of the fact that, by using these techniques, it is possible to obtain quantitative information from the same set of measurements, of material characteristics, that determine material properties. This advance has been made possible thanks to recent instrumental developments, such as the X-ray lens -a bundle of glass capillaries- and single or double X-ray mirrors. A very useful tool, that is extensively applied -as described in a sequence of some 15 contributions-, is the in-situ (i.e. time resolved) powder diffraction technique which has resulted from the ample availability of position sensitive detectors.

Corrosion of Advanced Ceramics

Edited by: R.J. Fordham, D.J. Baxter and T. Graziani

Online since: July 1995

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The study of oxidation and corrosion resistance continues to play a vital role in the development of advanced ceramics. A knowledge of both the mechanisms governing the corrosion processes and the rate of degradation under conditions of use are required in order to permit judicious materials selection.

Reactive Phase Formation at Interfaces and Diffusion Processes

Edited by: Y. Limoge and J.L. Bocquet

Online since: May 1994

Description: In a majority of cases, the various processes which give rise to matter transport lead to the formation of new interfaces and to the concommitant development of new phases on either side of these newly created interfaces. The latter play a particularly important role, in the sense that the reactions that produce the new phases take place there.

Silicon Nitride '93

Edited by: Michael J. Hoffmann, Paul F. Becher and Günther Petzow

Online since: August 1993

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
In recent years, significant progress has been made in developing high performance materials for technological needs. In the case of structural ceramics, silicon nitride-based materials are considered the most promising candidates.
The goal of this book is to evaluate the state of knowledge of silicon nitride-based materials with respect to basic science, powder technology and material properties as well as to discuss future work required in this areas.
