The second volume of the topic series “Superalloys” contains articles published by Trans Tech Publications from 2018 up to 2019. This collection presents a wide range of scientific research results and engineering solutions in the field of alloy developments and performance, physical and mechanical properties, and processing technologies of various types of superalloys. We hope this collection will be beneficial and interesting to a broad audience of researchers and engineers from the area of materials science and engineering.
The first issue of the topic series “Superalloys” contains articles published by Trans Tech Publications in 2017 year. The volume entitled as "Ni-Based Superalloys" provides the readers with a wide range of scientific research results and engineering solutions in the field of development, a study of properties and processing technologies of nickel-based superalloys. We hope this collection will be useful and interesting to a broad audience of researchers and engineers from the area of machinery.

It is noticeable that superalloys have regained their momentum. The worldwide effort to increase the efficiency and extend the lifetime of energy conversion facilities depends upon improved materials and manufacturing techniques. Materials are now expected to exhibit outstanding mechanical strength and creep resistance at high temperatures, as well as a good corrosion and oxidation resistance. Superalloys have this potential, but many of the commercial grades are still based upon metallurgical concepts that date back to the 1980s, and have typically been exploited so far in only a few prominent areas of application. Improvement in their high-temperature capability, and the adaption of manufacturing processes to new fields of application, present major challenges to current researchers in industry and academia. These papers, published within the context of the first European Symposium on Superalloys, present the current state of progress in the development, production and properties of cast, wrought and powder-metallurgical superalloys and associated coating systems. They represent a timely and invaluable guide to the subject.
New 5th fully revised edition is available.
Solidification phenomena play an important role in many of the processes used in fields ranging from production engineering to solid-state physics. The broad range of applications of solidification models - from the large tonnages of continuously cast products, through superalloy precision castings, to high-purity single crystals - means that a book such as the present one must cater for the requirements of a very wide range of readers.
