Zusatztext "The text does a nice job of detailing various experimental methods and providing examples of their application on commercial alloys?I recommend this reference for practicing engineers and scientists who require general overviews of common characterization techniques and illustrations of what information they can obtain from those techniques. I also recommend it for the outstanding atlas of microstructures provided for aluminum- and iron-based alloys?[which] will prove to be a valuable addition to any engineering laboratory." - Mark L. Weaver! University of Alabama! in JOM Book Reviews! February 2006 Informationen zum Autor D. Scott MacKenzie, George E. Totten Klappentext Authored by top researchers in their respective fields! this book discusses methodologies to quantify the properties and microstructures of aluminum! steel! and superalloys. Some of the topics discussed include metallography! an atlas of microstructures! thermal analysis! x-ray diffraction! and residual stress measurement! transmission electron microscopy (TEM)! electron backscattering diffraction spectroscopy! texture measurement! electron momentum spectroscopy! positron annihilation spectroscopy! and atomic probe tomography. Analytical Characterization of Aluminum! Steel! and Superalloys offers engineers and materials scientists a unique reference of many advanced laboratory techniques in the context of characterization and property evaluation methodologies! enabling the evolution of stronger and more function-specific compositions. Zusammenfassung Examines conventional and advanced methodologies for the quantitative evaluation of properties and characterization of microstructures in metals. This work presents methods for uncovering information including precipitate mechanisms, kinetics, stability, crystallographic orientation, the effects of thermo-mechanical processing and residual stress.
