Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This work represents a new approach to ceramics research. The mechanical properties of ceramics and ceramic-based composites are well understood and have been studied extensively in the past. This more profound understanding of physical properties, such as particularly low or high thermal conductivities, radiation penetration depth, electrical and magnetic responses etc., can now lead to the development of new materials having improved properties.

Physical Metallurgy of Cast Iron V

Edited by: G. Lesoult and J. Lacaze

Online since: October 1997

Description: This publication comprises a comprehensive collection of articles which constitute a compact update on recent developments. The contents also suggest promising directions for future research, such as an increase in fundamental work on the control of the microstructure of the iron-rich matrix, and studies aimed at a better understanding of graphite growth from the liquid phase.

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.

Surface Engineering with High Energy Beams

Edited by: A. P. Loureiro, O. Conde, L. Guerra-Rosa and R. Vilar

Online since: January 1990

Description: The proceedings of the 2nd Intl. Conference on Surface Engineering with High Energy Beams document well the use and applications of high energy laser, electron and ion beams, and demonstrate the great versatility of these techniques in generating new engineered surfaces for important engineering materials.
