This book combines the perspectives of materials science of Superplasticity, on the one hand, and those of design and mechanics, on the other, in order to provide a holistic view of materials, design, mechanics and performance which will lead to useful solutions of societal benefits, in addition to providing great intellectual challenges. After considering the experimental evidence for superplasticity in different classes of materials, the book discusses the physics-based models, along with their advantages and limitations. Then, the analyses for superplastic forming available in the...

A lot of literature has been published on single aspects of corrosion-protective coatings. However, corrosion protection by organic coatings is a cross-functional issue. This book takes a holistic view of all disciplines involved in the creation and use of corrosion protection coatings for metals.

Effective corrosion protection using an organic coating requires proper preparation of the substrate surface, expert formulation of the coating, and appropriate application processes, as well as adaptation to different uses and service...

This work is intended to fill a gap in the current specialist literature: as an accompanying handbook. An extremely broad knowledge base is a prerequisite for mastering this unique protective and finishing material. However, today's coatings specialist also requires knowledge of process engineering in use of production and application equipment. This includes an understanding of materials science in the substrate materials and more generally the quality of the paint and its coatings. This also includes a familiarity with the environmental...
