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 phenomenon of superconductivity in materials offers great opportunities for fundamental and applied sciences. Application of superconducting material in measuring devices, medical diagnostics, in space and energy industries and transport, is only a short list of possible use of the phenomenon of superconductivity in everyday human activity.

The special collection “Superconductors and Superconductivity” consists of papers published by Trans Tech Publications Inc. from 2010 up to 2015 and covers a wide range of advanced achievements in the field of applied research and applied application of superconductors in different branches of engineering.

Compiled scientific papers are presented in two chapters:
Chapter 1: Superconductors: Properties and Production Technologies
Chapter 2: Practice of Using Superconductors and Superconductivity

Description: These are the proceedings of the 5th International Congress on Ceramics (ICC5) which was held from Aug. 17th-21st, 2014 in Beijing, China. The congress was organized by the Chinese Ceramic Society on behalf of the International Ceramic Federation (ICF).During the congress, global business and technology leaders, scientists and researchers gather to share ideas and visions of the future for ceramics and inorganic materials, and to engage the worldwide ceramics community in a collective effort to expand the use of these materials in both conventional as well as new and exciting applications. The 56 peer reviewed papers cover some of the most reason finding in these fields of research.

Description: This volume includes selected papers presented at the 11th International Conference Structural Integrity of Welded Structures (ISCS15).The event brought together researchers from institutes and universities from different countries in order to discuss actual topics of structural integrity of welded and jointed structures from the practical point of view as well as that of the material testing specialists. A particular attention was given to practical problems coming from the industry. The volume includes 46 selected papers from the 54 full papers that were submitted. The authors highlight the results of their own research and development activity, carried out in the frame of their institutes and universities from Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic and Israel.
