Heterostructured Metals: Processing, Interfaces, Defect Structures and Deformation Mechanisms provides a comprehensive study of defect structures and deformation mechanisms in interphase boundary-dominated nano and hetero structured metallic systems with examples and perspectives on future research directions and technological applications in this topical area.
This book covers the fundamental descriptions of the atomic structures, thermodynamics and kinetics of defect-interface interactions and the relationships between mechanical behavior and interfacial defect structures. It also provides examples of a broad range of model and engineering alloy systems covering cubic and non-cubic crystal structures. The state-of-the-art atomistic and meso-scale computational methods, experimental nanomechanical and in situ characterization of deformation mechanisms and material syntheses using physical vapor deposition, melt and deformation processing are described.
- Presents the atomic structures and thermodynamic and mechanical properties of metallic interphase boundaries
- Covers interaction of interphase boundaries with glide dislocations and point defects
- Discusses the unusual interface-dominated mechanical behavior and damage tolerance of metallic nanolaminates (multilayers) and hetero-structured composites
Advanced students, engineers, researchers and industry professionals interested on nano and hetero-structured metallic composites
