Advancements in nanotechnology for material processing via combustion
synthesis have spurred the development of superalloys that provide improved
protective properties. Nano-scale reactant particles offer increased homogeneity
that improve the micro-structural features and macroscopic properties
of the synthesized product. This book examines the use of self-propagating
high-temperature synthesis as a practical alternative to the conventional
methods for alloy production. Several important issues pertaining to nanostructured
metallic alloys will be discussed such as: incorporation of a...
