Download or read book Handbook of Refractory Compounds written by Grigoriĭ Valentinovich Samsonov and published by Springer. This book was released on 1980-08 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific and technical progress in our country depends largely on supplying im portant sections of the national economy with modern materials. This may be done by improving traditional materials, as well as by developing new ones that may be used under severe temperature, stress, and velocity conditions and that have com binations of certain physical and chemical properties. Refractory, superhard, corrosion-resistant, semiconductor, dielectric, and other materials are thus being created that will permit the development of new, highly effective tool materials, the implementation of technological processes in plasmas, and the solution of some materials-related aerospace and nuclear power problems. Refractory compounds play a vital role in the development of new materials and in the improvement of traditional materials. But information available on the properties of refractory compounds needed by scientists and engineers engaged in producing new materials for industry and technology has not yet been properly systematized. A first attempt in 1963 at such systematization (the first edition of this book) played some part in expanding the development and use of refractory compounds, but the information has now become seriously outdated, especially since in the last decade the study of refractory compounds in the USSR and abroad has grown very rapidly. In 1964 the handbook was, with certain additions, translated and published in the USA, but that publication was not readily available to the Soviet reader.

Download or read book The Oxide Handbook written by G. V. Samsonov and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-08 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continuous and ever expanding development of high-temperature tech nology involves the use of high -temperature refractory materials and one of the most important classes of these is the oxides, i.e., compounds of elements with oxygen. Oxides are the oldest refractory compounds known in technology and this is connected with their high chemical stability and abundance in nature. In addition to the use of oxides as raw materials for metallurgical processes, the refractoriness, chemical stability, and magnetic and other technically important properties of oxides have been put to use since antiquity. At the present time the importance of oxides as bases of many materials for new technology is substantial and is growing rapidly with the development of processes for the direct conversion of various forms of energy into electrical energy, the development of nuclear technOlogy, electronics, semiconductor and dielectric technOlogy, and cosmic technology, where the refractoriness and chemical stability of oxides are used in combination with their specific physical properties. Oxides are the foundation of the so-called oxygen -containing or oxygen refractory materials, which are fundamental to high-temperature tech nology. Oxides are no less important as the bases of practically all structural ma terials and rocks. A number of oxides are involved in biological processes.
