This useful provides reference provides a state-of-the-art account of the various effects of impurities on the properties of engineering alloys.

Tracing the technological advances that allow the economical manufacture of purer materials, Impurities in Engineering Materials outlines a wide range of methods for producing cleaner alloys........discusses intergranular fracture, corrosion, creep, and disclocation montion.....describes the need to produce materials with low impurity levels...shows how to analyze currently existing impurities......examines the ways in which the impurity content of materials has changed with time...details the specification of impurity limits......elucidates chemical with time...details the specification of impurity limits.........elucidates chemical methods for detecting impurities in bulk.........reviews the detection and segregation of impurities at grain boundaries.....and more.

Incorporating more than 900 references, tables, equations, drawings, and photographs, Impurities in Engineering Materials in an ideal resource for materials, manufacturing, design, aerospace, automotive, mechanical, and civil engineers; materials scientists; metallurgists; product development specialists; and graduate studensts in these disciplines.
