Progress in High Temperature Ceramics

Progress in High Temperature Ceramics

Description:

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).
Advanced high-temperature materials are key players in the emerging new technologies which are pushing forward the structural-aerospace, propulsion-system, defense, nuclear, thermal and chemical industries. Accelerating efforts have been directed towards increasing the operating-temperature limits of existing material systems and developing new material compositions such as advanced ceramics, UHTCs, intermetallics and CMCs. Understanding and controlling the behavior of the microstructures and properties of such materials have become key elements in these research activities. Since processing may itself engender various unique microstructural configurations and properties, the routes taken when obtaining optimum structures are also of primordial importance.

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: This volume contains 12 invited papers on ultra-high-temperature ceramics, refractory borides, and oxide ceramics, including their composites, intermetallics, and CMCs. For each system, such as aluminum composites, nitrides and oxynitrides, and carbides, the synthesis, processing, and microstructure-property interrelationships are discussed. Contributors work in science and technology, metallurgy, and materials engineering, in Taiwan, India, and the US.
