Solid Phase Transformations: Volume 138 (Solid State Phenomena, Volume 138) - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

This special-topic book, devoted to 'Solid Phase Transformations', covers a broad range of phenomena which are of importance in a number of technological processes. Most commercial alloys undergo thermal treatment after casting, with the aim of imparting desired compositions and/or optimal morphologies to the component phases.In spite of the fact that the topic has lain at the center of physical metallurgy for a long time, there are numerous aspects which are wide open to potential investigative breakthroughs. Materials with new structures also stimulate research in the field, as well as novel experimental techniques and computing methods that may shed new light upon incompletely understood problems of the past.The collection is divided into: I. Phase Transformations; II. Diffusion Processes Controlling Solid-State Transformations, Processes at Interphase Boundaries; III. Thermodynamics of Phase Transformations; IV. Stress- or Deformation-Induced Transformations, Displacive Transformations; V. Atomic Structures Close to Possible Phase Boundary: By Surface, within a Thin Slab.The volume comprises invited papers designed to contribute to a better understanding of the phenomena related to phase compositions and phase changes in the solid state.
