9780444537706: Physical Metallurgy

Sinossi

This is the fifth edition of a highly regarded family of titles which first published in 1965. The first edition had approximately one thousand pages in a single volume. This latest three-volume set will increase to over 3000 pages, and is a fair measure of the pace at which the discipline of physical metallurgy has grown in the intervening period.

Given the long period since publication of the previous edition, all chapters will either be totally rewritten by new authors or thoroughly revised and expanded, either by the 4th edition authors alone or jointly with new co-authors. Consequently the work is expected to be at least 50-85% revised.

In terms of specifics within the revision strategy, five chapters on new topics will be added, dealing with the Physical Metallurgy of Light Alloys, The Physical Metallurgy of Titanium Alloys, Atom Probe Field Ion Microscopy, Computational Metallurgy and Orientational Imaging Microscopy. Additionally, eight chapters will be folded into four chapters, and chapter 32 deleted. Consequently the work is expected to grow by around 10% compared to the previous edition.

Throughout, special care will be taken in all chapters to incorporate the latest experimental research results and theoretical insights. Several thousand citations to the research and review literature are included in this edition. There is a very detailed subject index, as well as a comprehensive author index. Reflecting the modern publication environment, online features will also be used to complement and enhance the physical book (e.g. modeling experiments).

  • Exhaustively synthesizes the most pertinent contemporary developments within physical metallurgy so scientists have authoritative information at their fingertips
  • Replaces existing articles and monographs with a single complete solution, saving time for busy scientists
  • Enables metallurgists to predict changes and consequences and create novel alloys and processes

Informazioni sugli autori

David E. Laughlin is the ALCOA Professor of Physical Metallurgy Emeritus, in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at
Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA. He obtained his BS in Metallurgical Engineering from Drexel University in 1969 and his PhD
in Metallurgy and Materials Science from MIT in 1973. He has taught at CMU since 1974. He was the Principal Editor of Metallurgical and
Materials Transactions and has coedited eight books. His research has centered on the structure of materials as observed by electron microscopy, phase transformations, and magnetic materials. He has published
more than 500 peer-reviewed research papers and is a coinventor on 11 US patents. Laughlin is a Fellow of TMS and ASM International.

Kazuhiro Hono is President of the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in Tsukuba, Japan. He joined NIMS in 1995 and has
served as a NIMS Fellow, Director of the Research Center for Magnetic and Spintronic Materials, and Executive Vice President of NIMS. He obtained his BS from Tohoku University in 1982 and his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from the Pennsylvania State University in 1988. His research has centered on the microstructure-property relationships of metallic materials, particularly magnetic materials. He served as Principal Editor of Scripta Materialia and Acta Materialia from 2000 to 2022. Hono is a Fellow of TMS and of the Magnetics Society of Japan.

Dalla quarta di copertina

The Physical Metallurgy series is an authoritative reference tool, providing a complete knowledge set in physical metallurgy, which is the largest discipline in the fields of Materials Science and Materials Engineering. The fifth edition of this series is the latest product in a prestigious and famous family formerly edited by Robert Cahn (University of Cambridge) and Peter Haasen (Universität Göttingen)), and in the present edition by Professor David Laughlin and Professor Kazuhiro Hono. This series describes and explains most aspects of physical metallurgy across the full breadth with considerable depth. Each article has been either rewritten by new authors, or thoroughly revised and expanded, either by the 4th edition authors alone or jointly with new co-authors.
