Description: While iron and steel industries are the major users of refractory materials, applications in other areas such as power plants and waste incinerators are of growing importance. The appropriate use and maximum performance of the refractories cannot be achieved unless their interaction with the service environment is properly understood. The correlations between the microstructure of these materials and their thermochemical as well as thermomechanical properties greatly enhances this understanding.

Description: The book emphasizes the importance of recrystallization and related processes in the development of advanced materials, such as metal-matrix composites, intermetallic and ceramic materials, and thin films. The volume focusses on the control of the microstructure during thermomechanical processing.

Description: There has been a great upsurge in recent years in the area of high Tc superconductors. Although there are numerous books and monographs related largely to their physics and chemistry, scattered informations are available on their processing aspects.

Description: The purpose of the present volume is to address several selected issues in relation to the preparation and properties of ceramic materials for electronics and to present a survey of the progress of the most important areas in this field.
