Description: There are relatively few revolutions in the venerable and rather staid field of metallurgy. One can count among them the advent of metallic glasses, of superplastic metals, or of memory-alloys. The latest revolution involves the relatively staid topic of alloy formulation, but is all the more startling because the resultant materials break every long-cherished rule of alloy design. In particular, the famous empirical rules of Hume-Rothery are completely ignored. That is, in the archetypal high-entropy alloy, five metals are alloyed together in equal proportions regardless of atomic-size difference, valence or crystal structure. Commonsense would tell any experienced metallurgist that that could result only in a uselessly brittle mass of intermetallic compounds. But in a truly paradigm-shifting manner, Professor J.W.Yeh of Taiwan correctly predicted that a high configurational entropy could suppress the appearance of detrimental intermetallic compounds and lead to simple familiar microstructures having very useful properties. High-Entropy Alloys can exhibit, for instance, astounding hardness and strength and also have a very good corrosion resistance. The present book summarises the microstructures and properties of all of the high-entropy alloys.

Description: The XXII International Materials Research Congress (IMRC) was held in Cancun Mexico from 11 to 15 August 2013. It was organized by the Sociedad Mexicana de Materiales (SMM) and the Materials Research Society (MRS). The IMRC 2013 included 5 plenary lectures, 1 science luncheon, 287 invited talks, and 1851 oral and poster presentations distributed in 30 different symposia, in addition, 6 tutorial courses were presented. About 1600 specialized scientists from more than 40 countries participated during the congress. The aim of the IMRC is provide an interactive forum to discuss and exchange ideas about the advances in synthesis, characterization, properties, processing, applications, basic research trends, corrosion prevention, and more, all related to the area of materials science and engineering. This event provides an excellent opportunity for materials scientists around the world to have a space to exchange their ideas and to discuss their results.

Description: The book brings recent results of research and development in the field of materials engineering, experimental methods, modeling, etc., with the aim to characterize mechanical properties of materials from nano to micro/meso-scale. Contributions focus on indentation and other methods for hardness as well as other mechanical properties assessment, measurement of deformations and stresses, time-dependent properties with related microstructure analyses (TEM/SEM, AFM, etc.) regardless of material type (metals, ceramics, polymers, biomaterials, concrete, etc.).
