Opis

This monograph is based on the fundamental aspects as well as the results of decades of research related to structure, processing, mechanical properties, and resistance to environmental degradation of a selected group of silicides and aluminides. Providing a critical literature review along with highlighted developments, the text covers methods of processing, crystal structures and slip systems, mechanical behavior, oxidation behavior, and applications. It focuses on the effect of processing, crystal structure, alloying elements, grain size and reinforcements, as well as strategies for achieving desirable properties.
