This book was released on 2000-10-09 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second volume of an advanced textbook on microstructure and properties of materials. (The first volume is on aluminum alloys, nickel-based superalloys, metal matrix composites, polymer matrix composites, ceramics matrix composites, inorganic glasses, superconducting materials and magnetic materials). It covers titanium alloys, titanium aluminides, iron aluminides, iron and steels, iron-based bulk amorphous alloys and nanocrystalline materials.There are many elementary materials science textbooks, but one can find very few advanced texts suitable for graduate school courses. The contributors to this volume are experts in the subject, and hence, together with the first volume, it is a good text for graduate microstructure courses. It is a rich source of design ideas and applications, and will provide a good understanding of how microstructure affects the properties of materials.Chapter 1, on titanium alloys, covers production, thermomechanical processing, microstructure, mechanical properties and applications. Chapter 2, on titanium aluminides, discusses phase stability, bulk and defect properties, deformation mechanisms of single phase materials and polysynthetically twinned crystals, and interfacial structures and energies between phases of different compositions. Chapter 3, on iron aluminides, reviews the physical and mechanical metallurgy of Fe3Al and FeAl, the two important structural intermetallics. Chapter 4, on iron and steels, presents methodology, microstructure at various levels, strength, ductility and strengthening, toughness and toughening, environmental cracking and design against fracture for many different kinds of steels. Chapter 5, on bulk amorphous alloys, covers the critical cooling rate and the effect of composition on glass formation and the accompanying mechanical and magnetic properties of the glasses. Chapter 6, on nanocrystalline materials, describes the preparation from vapor, liquid and solid states, microstructure including grain boundaries and their junctions, stability with respect to grain growth, particulate consolidation while maintaining the nanoscale microstructure, physical, chemical, mechanical, electric, magnetic and optical properties and applications in cutting tools, superplasticity, coatings, transformers, magnetic recordings, catalysis and hydrogen storage.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an attempt to meet the demand for new ultra-high strength materials, the processing of novel material configurations with unique microstructure is being explored in systems which are further and further from equilibrium. One such class of emerging materials is the so-called nanophased or nanostructured materials. This class of materials includes metals and alloys, ceramics, and polymers characterized by controlled ultra-fine microstructural features in the form oflayered, fibrous, or phase and grain distribution. While it is clear that these materials are in an early stage of development, there is now a sufficient body of literature to fuel discussion of how the mechanical properties and deformation behavior can be controlled through control of the microstructure. This NATO-Advanced Study Institute was convened in order to assess our current state of knowledge in the field of mechanical properties and deformation behavior in materials with ultra fine microstructure, to identify opportunities and needs for further research, and to identify the potential for technological applications. The Institute was the first international scientific meeting devoted to a discussion on the mechanical properties and deformation behavior of materials having grain sizes down to a few nanometers. Included in these discussions were the topics of superplasticity, tribology, and the supermodulus effect. Lectures were also presented which covered a variety of other themes including synthesis, characterization, thermodynamic stability, and general physical properties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book concentrates on both understanding and development of nanocrystalline materials. The original relation that connects grain size and strength, known as the Hall-Petch relation, is studied in the nanometer grain size region. The breakdown of such a relation is a challenge. Why and how to overcome it? Is the dislocation mechanism still operating when the grain size is very small, approaching the amorphous limit? How do we go from the microstructure information to the continuum description of the mechanical properties?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the monograph, the first of this type in the world, the authors discuss systematically the current state of investigations into nanocrystalline materials. The experimental results on the effect of the nanocrystalline state on the microstructure and the mechanical, thermophysical, optical, and magnetic properties of metals, alloys and solid-phase compounds are generalised. Special attention is given to the main methods of production of isolated nanoparticles, ultrafine powders and dense nanocrystalline materials. The dimensional effects in isolated nanoparticles and high-density nanocrystalline materials are discussed in detail, and the important role of the interface in the formation of the structure and properties of dense nanocrystalline materials is shown. The modelling considerations, explaining special features of the structure and anomalous properties of substances in the nanocrystalline condition, are analysed.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanocrystalline (nc) materials are characterized by a grain size in the range 1-200 nm. Because of this characteristic, these materials exhibit unique microstructures in which the volume of grain boundaries is significant. Nc-materials offer interesting possibilities related to many structural applications. In order to explore some of these possibilities, an understanding of the origin of mechanical properties such as strength, hardness, and ductility is essential. Mechanical properties in materials are very sensitive to their microstructure. One important process that can be used to manipulate the details microstructure in materials is annealing. In the present dissertation, annealing treatment was utilized to provide insight into the correlation between mechanical properties and microstructure. Primary among the mechanical properties that were selected for investigation are hardness, the elastic modulus, strength and ductility. Experiments on hardness and the modulus of elasticity were conducted at room temperature on samples of electrodeposited (ED) nc-Ni that were annealed at temperatures ranging from 323 K to 693 K. The results showed the presence of three regions: regions I, II, and III. In region I (300 K T 350 K), hardness and the elastic modulus remained essentially constant. In region II (350

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past two years we have been engaged in a program of research on the mechanical properties of a variety of new materials with nanometer scale microstructures. These materials have been developed recently using vapor phase synthesis techniques and are available in the form of compositionally-modulated (multilayered) thin film materials and ultrafine-grained (nanocrystalline) solids. They have interesting microstructures and mechanical properties that may lead to new applications for these materials. In this report we give a brief summary of some of the results we have obtained to date in the course of this research. Other, more detailed, descriptions of some of this work can be found in the papers that we have published. These are listed at the end of this report along with a listing of the oral presentations we have given. We report briefly on our studies of the elastic properties of metallic multilayered thin films. Using indentation and microbeam deflection techniques, we have found that Au/Ni multilayers do not show supermodulus effects, contrary to some previous reports based on bulge test results. However, we have discovered large and significant substrate interaction stresses in these films which depend systematically on the composition modulation wavelength. We believe that these residual stresses may have led to bulge testing errors which in turn led to erroneous reports of supermodulus effects.
