Book Description

This two-volume set contains a collection of 381 peer-reviewed papers. Its aim is to bring together the latest advances in, and applications of, alloy design, process development, component engineering, phase-composition prediction, high-temperature oxidation, wrought alloys, lifetime estimation and materials behavior, cobalt-based alloys, nickel-iron alloys, joining, alternative materials and powder-metallurgy and also to consider the future of superalloys. It is certain that this collection will not only provide readers with a broad overview of the latest advances, but will also provide researchers with a valuable summary of, and reference guide, to this field. This two-volume set collects 350 papers from the November 2010 conference on materials and manufacturing processes. The Chinese contributors share their research on alloy design, component engineering, prediction of phase composition, lifetime estimation, cobalt-based alloys, nickel-iron alloys, joining, and powder metallurgy. Three papers from the Beijing Aeronautical Manufacturing Technology Institute evaluate the effect of weld shape on fatigue performance, the effect of weld size on joint mechanical properties, and the stress distribution characteristics of laser weld joints. Other topics include the sound absorption properties of aluminum sponges, surface modification of titanium alloys by thermal oxidation, measurement of fabric capillary radius distribution, ionic liquids bearing hydroxyl groups as lubricants, and the stability of polyphenols in methanolic extracts from apple mangrove seeds.
