This latest handbook brings together in one volume a comprehensive reference source of information on engineering metallic and nonmetallic heat-resistant materials from carbon and alloy steels to refractory metals, and ceramics to carbon-carbon composites. The volume covers the complete spectrum of technology dealing with heat-resistant materials including high-temperature characteristics, effects of processing and microstructure on high-temperature properties, materials-selection guidelines for industrial applications, and life-assessment methods. Materials scientists, design engineers, engineering consultants, and others involved in the selection, design, and purchase of engineering materials for use in high-temperature applications in the thermal processing, petrochemical and chemical processing, aerospace, and power-generation industries will find this an invaluable reference.
Materials covered include:
Carbon, Alloy and Stainless Steels
Alloy Cast Irons
High-Alloy Cast Steels
Superalloys
Titanium and Titanium Alloys
Refractory Metals and Alloys
Nickel-Chromium and Nickel-Thoria Alloys
Structural Intermetallics
Structural Ceramics, Cermets, and Cemented Carbides
Carbon-Carbon Composites
Also included is information on property comparisons that allows ranking of alloy performance, effects of processing and microstructure on high-temperature properties, high-temperature oxidation and corrosion resistant coatings for superalloys, life-assessment methodology, and design guidelines for applications involving creep and/or oxidation.
Contents include:
General Introduction to high-temperature materials characteristics
High-temperature mechanical and corrosion properties and industrial applications
Properties of Ferrous Heat-Resistant Alloys (carbon, alloy, and stainless steels; alloy cast irons; and high-alloy cast steels)
Properties of Superalloys (metallurgy and processing, mechanical and corrosion properties, degradation, and protective coatings)
Properties of Nonferrous Heat-Resistant Materials (Ti and Ti alloys, refractory metals and alloys, Ni-Cr and Ni-ThO2 alloys, intermetallics, ceramics, cermets, cemented carbides, and C-C composites)
Special Topics including creep-rupture data assessment and use, thermal and thermomechanical fatigue, elevated-temperature crack growth, creep-fatigue interaction, and design for high-temperature applications and oxidation. | ISBN(s) : | 9780871705969 |
