Tab Article
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.
