E-raamat: Advances in Physical Metallurgy

This volume includes selected papers presented at the International Conference on Advances in Physical Metallurgy (ICPM-94). These 72 articles highlight important concepts of physical metallurgy, including those which have proliferated in various related disciplines such as ceramics, electronic materials, multilayers, and intermetallics. The first few sections of the book concentrate on materials in different states of order and the mechanisms involved in the evolution of order. Microstructural changes that occur by diffusional or displacive transformations are also discussed. Aspects of phase stability, including first principles calculations of phase stability, are covered in a separate section. The last three sections are devoted to the application of physical metallurgy principles to the development of specific materials.

Presents 72 papers from the March 1994 conference, highlighting concepts in physical metallurgy used in related disciplines such as ceramics, electronic materials, multilayers, and intermetallics. Early sections concentrate on materials in different states of order, with a separate section on phase stability. The last three sections detail the application of physical metallurgy principles to the development of specific materials. Of interest to researchers and engineers in materials science, especially those engaged in the improvement of properties through microstructural control.
