Steel Corrosion Induced Concrete Cracking presents the latest advances in the origin, mechanism and development of corrosion-induced cracking in concrete. It investigates topics including expansion coefficient and elastic modulus of steel corrosion, rust layer and rust distribution, spatial distribution of corrosion products, the shape of corrosion-induced cracks and so on.

This book concludes by proposing an improved corrosion-induced cracking model, which considers the phenomena of the simultaneous occurrence of corrosion layer accumulation and corrosion filling in...

Structure and Properties of Nanoalloys is devoted to the topic of alloy nanoparticles, the bi-or multicomponent metallic nanoparticles that are often called nanoalloys. The interest in nanoalloys stems from the wide spectrum of their possible applications in the fields of catalysis, magnetism, and optics.

Nanoalloys are also interesting from a basic science point-of-view due to the complexity of their structures and properties. Nanoalloys are presently a very lively research area, with impressive developments in the last ten years. This book meets the need to systematize the...

Additive Manufacturing of Titanium Alloys: State of the Art, Challenges and Opportunities provides alternative methods to the conventional approach for the fabrication of the majority of titanium components produced via the cast and wrought technique, a process which involves a considerable amount of expensive machining.

In contrast, the Additive Manufacturing (AM) approach allows very close to final part configuration to be directly fabricated minimizing machining cost, while achieving mechanical properties at least at cast and wrought levels. In addition, the book offers...

Friction Stir Welding of High Strength 7XXX Aluminum Alloys is the latest edition in the Friction Stir series and summarizes the research and application of friction stir welding to high strength 7XXX series alloys, exploring the past and current developments in the field.

Friction stir welding has demonstrated significant benefits in terms of its potential to reduce cost and increase manufacturing efficiency of industrial products in transportation, particularly the aerospace sector. The 7XXX series aluminum alloys are the premium aluminum alloys used in aerospace....

Le zinc, metal abondamment utilise de nos jours, a une metallurgie complexe qui se partage d'une maniere inegale entre la pyrometallurgie et l'hydrometallurgie qui, elle, est en plus grande proportion. On ne peut pas parler de zinc sans le plomb mais ce dernier fait partie d'un autre de nos ouvrages. Malgre cela, le zinc depuis ses minerais est accompagne de beaucoup d'autres metaux tels que le cadmium, le germanium, le gallium et l'indium pour ne citer que ceux-la qui sont des metaux dits strategiques pour leurs interets industriels et militaires au point que parfois, des pays ne donnent ni...

Le cobalt, metal assez peu connu, entre dans la plupart des alliages ayant leur utilite allant de l'aeronautique civile ou militaire, aux outils de coupe tout en passant par les peintures, les aimants, les disques compactes, les bandes audio et video, les batteries des voitures hybrides, des telephones, des ordinateurs portables et des simulateurs cardiaques. Toutes les voitures, tous les camions, quasiment tous les vehicules automoteurs contiennent leur part de cobalt. On voit bien que tout homme ou femme depuis plusieurs decennies est grand consommateur de cobalt. Actuellement, pret de 20%...

Nucleation and Growth of Metals: From Thin Films to Nanoparticles explores how nucleation and growth phenomena condition the morphology and related characteristics of metallic thin films and nanoparticles to help control the functional properties of these objects.

The book brings a rigorous theoretical approach to nucleation and growth phenomena, with a particular focus on the essential aspects and outcomes of this theory. The author explores a general framework for the nucleation and growth of condensed phases from liquid solutions. Practical situations are extensively...

La denomination "Terres Rares" est evidemment des plus intrigantes. Les metaux de ces terres rares ne sont pas si rares mais c'est plutot leur metallurgie ou leur extraction metallurgique qui a fait que ces metaux sont qualifies de metaux de terres rares. La presence des terres rares dans l'ecorce terrestre est relativement importante paradoxalement. Compte-tenu de leur utilite, la gestion et la production des terres rares suite a leur monopolisation par la Chine fait couler beaucoup d'encre dans le domaine de la sphere strategique et economique. Des industriels occidentaux ont commis...

This vintage book contains a detailed treatise on the value of science in the workshop. Originally the outcome of a lecture delivered at a meeting of the Associated Foremen Smiths of Scotland, it was designed to interest members in the scientific training of smiths and forgers. Much of the information within this volume is timeless and will be of value to modern readers with an interest in blacksmithing and metal work. Contents include: "Calculations for Forgings," "Strength of Materials," "Development of Surfaces," "Practical Geometry-Mechanical Drawing," "Practical Mechanics-Heat,"...

This vintage book contains a detailed guide to drop-forging dies and die-sinking. With authentic photographs, helpful illustrations, and a wealth of useful information, this is a volume that will be of considerable utility to novice and apprentice blacksmiths, and one that would make for a valuable addition to collections blacksmithing literature. Contents include: "Laying Out and Machining Operations," "Classes of Drop-forging Dies," "Information Required by the Die-sinker," "Preparation of the Stock," "Laying out the Dies," "The Draft Allowance," "The Allowance for Finish," "Scribing the...

The Aluminum-Silicon Casting Alloys Atlas of Microstructures provides any engineer or researcher who works with aluminum castings with a practical and substantive tool for the visual analysis of the microscopic images of the microstructure of the aluminum casting alloys, as examined during routine laboratory procedures. The gallery of microstructure images presented in the Atlas has been selected and put in a systematic order with two main goals in mind* Help the reader who has an image of an alloy microstructure identify the examined alloy in a gallery of standard casting Al-Si alloys* Help...

Tensile strength, fatigue strength and ductility are important properties of nanostructured metallic materials, which make them suitable for use in applications where strength or strength-to-weight ratios are important. Nanostructured metals and alloys reviews the latest technologies used for production of these materials, as well as recent advances in research into their structure and mechanical properties.

One of the most important issues facing nanostructured metals and alloys is how to produce them. Part one describes the different methods used to process bulk nanostructured metals...

Corrosion is an expensive and potentially dangerous problem in many industries. The potential application of different nanostructured materials in corrosion protection, prevention and control is a subject of increasing interest. Corrosion protection and control using nanomaterials explores the potential use of nanotechnology in corrosion control.

The book is divided into two parts. Part one looks at the fundamentals of corrosion behaviour and the manufacture of nanocrystalline materials. Chapters discuss the impact of nanotechnology in reducing corrosion cost, and investigate the...
