- Numerous line drawings.
- Transmission electron micrographs provide a direct insight into
the basic microstructure of metals deforming at high temperatures.
- An extensive literature review of over 1000 references make this an
excellent reference document, and produce a very balanced discussion.
Understanding the strength of materials over a range of temperatures is
critically important to a huge number of researchers and practitioners
from a wide range of fields and industry sectors including mechanical
engineers, metallurgists, industrial designers, aerospace R&D personnel,
and structural engineers.
The most up-to date and comprehensive book in the field, Fundamentals
of Creep in Metals and Alloys discusses the fundamentals of
time-dependent plasticity or creep plasticity in metals, alloys and
metallic compounds. This is the first book of its kind to provide
a broad coverage of a range of materials rather than limiting itself to
just a sub-group such as metallic compounds, superalloys or crystals.
As such it presents the most balanced view of creep for all materials
scientists.
- Introduction
- Five-Power-Law Creep
- Diffusional-Creep
- Harper-Dorn Creep
- Three-Power-Law Viscous Glide Creep
- Superplasticity
- Recrystalization
- Creep Behavior of Particle-Strengthened Alloys
- Creep of Intermetallics
- Creep Fracture
The theory of all of these phenomena are extensively reviewed and
analyzed based on an extensive bibliography that includes the most
recent publications in the field. All sections of the book have
undergone extensive peer review so the reader can be sure they have
access to the most up-to-date research, fully interrogated, from the
world's leading investigators.
