This book contains a selection of papers presented at the Symposium on Precious and Rare Metals, held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, U.S.A., 6-8 April 1988. The Symposium focused on recent advances achieved in research and development related to geology, mining, extractive metallurgy, as well as in materials aspects of precious and a number of other metals. Selected Contents: Foreword. Section I. …
"This book provides an introduction to the concepts used in understanding the metallurgy who had had a prior course dealing with the atomic structure of solids, simple crystals, defects, and the existence of phase diagrams"
A straightforward treatment describing the oxidation processes of metals and alloys at elevated temperatures. This 2006 second edition retains the fundamental theory but incorporates advances made in understanding degradation phenomena. The first half provides an authoritative introduction to the basic principles, covering thermodynamics and mechanisms of high temperature corrosion of metals an…
This book is dedicated to the basic training of students of engineering in the field of physical metallurgy. One of the most serious problems confronting the engineer is the selection, treatment, and use of metals and alloys. These problems cannot be left entirely left entirely to the specialist known as the metallurgist, but must be dealt with to an appreciable extent by the engineer. No engin…
