Description: Texture is a fundamental material characteristic which results from the microstructural evolution that takes place during various processes, including the thermomechanical deformation of materials. Therefore, texture-related phenomena will continue to be of great importance, because of their scientific interest as well as their effect upon industrial applications, in the 21st century.

Defects and Diffusion in Metals III

Edited by: Dr. David J. Fisher

Online since: January 2001

Description: This latest annual look back at the subject includes review papers on some applications of mechanical spectroscopy and magnetic relaxation to the monitoring of diffusion, on the effect of positron diffusion upon their annihilation, on the wind force in electromigration, on the creep of nanocrystalline metals (as related to grain-boundary diffusion) and on self-interstitial atom behaviour at high temperatures in dense metals.

Advanced Ceramic Tools for Machining Application - III

Edited by: I.M. Low

Online since: September 1997

Description: Recent advances in ceramic science and technology have given rise to a new generation of high-performance ceramic cutting-tools which have an improved strength, hardness, toughness, wear resistance, thermal shock resistance and creep strength. These advances have resulted in better workpiece quality, improved tool-life or reliability, lower production costs, improved productivity, and have facilitated the machining of new or special alloys.

Electrochemical Methods in Corrosion

Online since: January 1997

Description: One of the goals of the present publication is to forge a link between basic research, and applications in both civil and mechanical engineering.

Solidification and Gravity II

Edited by: A. Roósz and M. Rettenmayr

Online since: June 1996

Description: The aim of the present collection is to foster exchanges between research groups having an interest in solidification under both micro- and macro-gravity conditions. Every important aspect of research in the various fields is covered in its nine sections. This is a uniquely valuable source of information on, and of insights into, solidification processes.
