Basic Compounds for Superalloys

Basic Compounds for Superalloys: Mechanical Properties explores the mechanical properties of the iron group based intermetallic compounds that are the basis of super-alloys.

Chapters explore tensile tests and compressive stress and hardness and provide detailed considerations that are devoted to time dependent deformation, namely creep and cyclic deformation.

In addition, a discussion of the nano-crystalline L12 and B2 structures and their mechanical properties is included.

Fracture and failure of these materials in both macro and nano-iron based compounds is also considered.

This book is ideal for engineers, scientists and technical personnel who work in materials engineering, materials science, and mechanical and chemical engineering.
