Books by Keyword: Thermal Treatment

Description: The atomic and heat transport rates in solids and liquids surely represent the most basic processes in materials science and engineering because these rates affect most fabrication and properties of materials. Research in mass and thermal transport will continue to provide substantial insights into discovering new materials, their properties, and determining how long they would last in service. Research in this area has been especially popular in the area of materials science and engineering. The present special topic volume is entitled: “Mass and Thermal Transport in Engineering Materials II” and follows on from the previous volume in 2020.

Description: THERMEC 2021 is the 11th International Conference on advanced materials built upon the proven concept and continues the tradition of its seven predecessors, Japan - 1988, Australia - 1997, USA - 2000, Spain - 2003, Canada - 2006, Germany - 2009, Canada - 2011, Las Vegas/USA - 2013, Graz/Austria - 2016, Paris/France - 2018 and Vienna/Austria - 2020. This conference series provides a forum for researchers around the globe to present results on recent advances in the field of materials science and technology of processing and manufacturing of advanced materials. The conference covers aspects of processing, fabrication, structure/property relationships, and applications of both ferrous and non-ferrous materials including biomaterials, materials for aerospace, and other advanced materials.

Description: The book is a collection of the papers and the keynote lectures presented at the 33rd Surface Modification Technologies Conference (SMT33) which was held in Naples on 26 to 28 June 2019. The conference was focused on surface engineering and covered the following areas: corrosion, treatments, characterization, additive manufacturing, coatings, modification technologies. This book transfers up-to-date knowledge from scientist and experts to the common practice, representing a valuable resource for engineers, designers, researchers, and students.

Description:

The book covers a broad range of topics related to damage and failure of structural materials and parts. The collection contains the results of research and analysis of the fracture behavior of the materials that are subject to fatigue and extreme plastic deformation including analysis of the failures caused by stress concentrators such as welded joints. Several papers focus on the structural design of engineering parts and prediction of their lifespan based on the knowledge of damage processes. The materials combine aspects of experimental, theoretical and computational investigations with an emphasis on the direct applications in engineering.

The book was comprised of the papers presented at the conference "New Methods of Damage and Failure Analysis of Structural Parts" (November 01-04, 2016, Yokohama, Japan).

Description: The goal of this collection is to provide the opportunity for researchers working in many different fields to showcase their latest achievements in the arena of structural studies, as applied to the materials commonly used in industry. Emphasis is placed on the methods and techniques used in structural studies, as well as on the structures and properties of divers materials including: metals and alloys, ceramics, polymers, quasicrystals, nanomaterials and thin films.

The study of nanomaterials is an active area of 21st-century research in physics, chemistry and materials engineering as well as biomedical engineering. Nanomaterials which are defined as substances that are in the form of spherical dot, rod, thin plate or voids of any irregular shape, but smaller than 100nm, find wide application in materials science and technology due to their very distinctive properties as compared with their bulk counterpart.

This volume is dedicated to the ever-expanding fields of application of nitrides in ceramics, metals, glasses, composites, coatings, sensors, catalysts and electronic thin films. The papers cover all branches of materials science and engineering which concern the role of nitrogen in improving and modifying the properties of materials; particularly those destined for novel applications. All of the papers have been peer-reviewed prior to publication, so that this book will make a very significant contribution to assessing the current state-of-the-art concerning Nitrides and Oxynitrides.
