Product Description
Understanding the origin of electrical properties of alloys is critical to the development of new materials. Dr. Rossiter blends theoretical and experimental results without relying on detailed quantum mechanics. After introducing the basic concepts of atomic and magnetic correlations, he explains their microstructural consequences.Later chapters deal with the effects of such correlations on electrical resistivity. Examples and applications are given in discrete sections, which allow the uninterrupted development of theory for each specific problem. ... Read more

Product Description
This title presents an up-to-date account of the research, development, and applications of metallic alloys, recent research into the structure of charge materials, melt treatment, and casting technologies, and their influence on the properties of melts and ingots. This research has confirmed theoretical concepts about the microheterogenous constitution of metallic melts and has made it possible to manage the quality of castings and ingots of various alloys by their special treatment in the liquid state.
The four chapters of the book give theoretical and experimental evidence of the effect of the melt constitution on the structure and properties of the solid metal, and common features of structure formation in aluminium alloys are considered for a wide range of solidification conditions, including ultrasonic and thermal melt treatments. The technological problems of these treatments are also discussed. ... Read more

Product Description

This book is an eye-opening treatise on the fundamentals of the effects of radiation on metals and alloys. When energetic particles strike a solid, numerous processes occur that can change the physical and mechanical properties of the material. Metals and alloys represent an important class of materials that are subject to intense radiation fields. Radiation causes metals and alloys to swell, distort, blister, harden, soften and deform. This textbook and reference covers the basics of particle-atom interaction for a range of particle types, the amount and spatial extent of the resulting radiation damage, the physical effects of irradiation and the changes in mechanical behavior of irradiated metals and alloys.

Product Description
Creep and fatigue are the most prevalent causes of rupture in superalloys, which are important materials for industrial usage, e.g. in engines and turbine blades in aerospace or in energy producing industries. As temperature increases, atom mobility becomes appreciable, affecting a number of metal and alloy properties. It is thus vital to find new characterization methods that allow an understanding of the fundamental physics of creep in these materials as well as in pure metals.
Here, the author shows how new in situ X-ray investigations and transmission electron microscope studies lead to novel explanations of high-temperature deformation and creep in pure metals, solid solutions and superalloys. This unique approach is the first to find unequivocal and quantitative expressions for the macroscopic deformation rate by means of three groups of parameters: substructural characteristics, physical material constants and external conditions.
Creep strength of the studied up-to-date single crystal superalloys is greatly increased over conventional polycrystalline superalloys.

From the contents:

- Macroscopic characteristics of strain at high temperatures
- Experimental equipment and technique of in situ X-ray investigations
- Experimental data and structural parameters in deformed metals
- Subboundaries as dislocation sources and obstacles
- The physical mechanism of creep and the quantitative structural model
- Simulation of the parameters evolution
- System of differential equations
- High-temperature deformation of industrial superalloys
- Single crystals of superalloys
- Effect of composition, orientation and temperature on properties
- Creep of some refractory metals

For materials scientists, solid state physicists, solid state chemists, researchers and practitioners from industry sectors including metallurgical, mechanical, chemical and structural engineers.

THE MECHANICAL TESTING OF METALS AND ALLOYS THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF STANDARDIZED MECHANICAL TESTING BY P. FIELD FOSTER B. SC. tOND., M. SO. WALES, A. M. LMECH., WHITWORTH EXHIBITIONER LONDON SIR ISAAC PITMAN SONS, LTD. 1936 SIR ISAAC PITMAN SONS, LTD. PITMAN HOUSE, PARKIER STREET, KINGSWAY, LONDON, W. C. THE PITMAN PRESS, BATH PITMAN HOUSE, LITTLE COLLINS STREET, MELBOURNE ASSOCIATED COMPANIES PITMAN PUBLISHING CORPORATION 2 WEST 45TH STREET, NEW YORK SIR ISAAC PITMAN SONS CANADA, LTD. . INCORPORATING THE COMMERCIAL TEXT BOOK COMPANY PITMAN HOUSE, 381383 CHURCH STREET, TORONTO PREFACE THIS book is the outcome of a series of articles on Testing Machines and their Applications which I contributed to Machinery during the years 1931-1932. On considering requests for the publication of the articles in book form, I felt that, while a number of books on the testing of materials were in existence, there was room for one that coupled descriptions of modern testing equipment with its mode of use and which at the same time embraced in a practical way the theory underlying present-day developments in the testing of metals and their alloys. Consequently, the original articles form but a small part of the book. Only such types of testing equipment are described as may be found in up-to-date works, testing rooms, and laboratories. Moreover, some attempt has been made to keep within the range of tests already standardized by the British Standards Institution, or which bear closely on commercial testing. As the demand on engineering practice becomes more severe, it is reflected in the test room and its personnel. It is hoped, therefore, that the book will be helpful to those whose work brings them into close touch with mechanical testing, and for whom, in fact, the book is mainly intended. Students of Strength of Materials should also find the book of service. I have adopted the plan of placing references at the end of the book and of indexing them, each with the number of the page to which it refers. My acknowledgments must be made with respect to sources of information and help. Especially must I thank Professor W. R. D. Jones, D. Sc., for his assistance and criticism through out the progress of the work. I have also to thank Mr. J. G. Grodsell for allowing me to draw upon his extensive experience in matters concerning sheet metals and Professor W. N. Thomas, M. A., D. Phil. To the Editor of Machinery for permission to make use of bhe articles contributed to that Journal to the Institution of A. utomobile Engineers and The American Society for Testing Materials for allowing me to extract from Papers published vi PREFACE in their respective Proceedings and which are included among the list of references, I have pleasure in also making acknow ledgment. And in conclusion, I must thank Messrs. Edward G. Herbert, Ltd., Messrs. Alfred J. Amsler, Messrs. Metropolitan-Vickers, Ltd., and other firms who have so generously supplied informa tion, and blocks or photographs for illustrations. P. F. F. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, CARDIFF. August, 1936.

Product Description

Developed by the late metallurgy professor and master experimentalist Hubert I. Aaronson, this collection of lecture notes details the fundamental principles of phase transformations in metals and alloys upon which steel and other metals industries are based.

Mechanisms of Diffusional Phase Transformations in Metals and Alloys is devoted to solid-solid phase transformations in which elementary atomic processes are diffusional jumps, and these processes occur in a series of so-called nucleation and growth through interface migration. Instead of relying strictly on a pedagogical approach, it documents the evolution of phase transformation concepts. The authors present topics by describing a phenomenon and then following up with a corresponding hypothesis or alternative explanation. In this way, the book also shows how the field continues to evolve and meet new challenges.

Integrated with information from a number of key papers and review articles, this volume reflects this revered and influential instructor’s unique and passionate way of introducing well-established theories and knowledge in a systematic way, at the same time introducing, in great detail, how a new idea or interpretation of a phenomenon has emerged, evolved, and gained its current status. If the published version of a theory or a model was too condensed, Aaronson worked the problem out in painstaking detail so that graduate students could follow the derivations. This collection is full of such unique "Aaronsonian idiosyncrasies," which add immense value as a powerful tool for learning in this challenging materials field.

Heavy words about Light metals in a low weight format.
A thoroughly digestible treatise on the subject of the light metals. Polmear's style keeps it relevant, concise and up to date. I bought the book for its section on Titanium, but the other sections, particularlythose dealing with aluminium and magnesium, show an excellent balance ofgood theory and commercial application. Also pleasing to see is the 'rightamount' of background information given in the right places. Five stars itcertainly deserves. If you deal with light metals, it also deserves a placeon your bookshelf. ... Read more
