    • R Phaal + 1 more
    • English
    This compendium, compiled by two senior engineers from TWI, draws together information from more than 150 individual specifications, covering national, international and industrial toughness requirements for ferritic materials. It covers applications such as pressure vessels, storage tanks, offshore structures, shipping, bridges and pipelines. The data contained in the compendium are derived from over 100 different sources, many of which are not readily available. The book has been designed as a reference source for structural, mechanical, metallurgical and project engineers concerned with structural integrity of welded plant, and will be of especial value to those working in the nuclear, petrochemical and offshore industries.

  • Handbook of Sputter Deposition Technology

    Principles, Technology and Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • December 31, 1992
    • Kiyotaka Wasa + 1 more
    • English
    A concise, comprehensive overview of sputter deposition technologyùa key technology for materials research in the next decade. Cathode sputtering is widely used in the microelectronics industry for silicon integrated circuit production and for metallurgical coatings. High temperature superconductors can be synthesized with sputtering under non-equilibrium conditions. Diamond films and ferroelectric materials are other applications.

  • Adhesives, Sealants and Coatings for the Electronics Industry

    • 1st Edition
    • December 31, 1992
    • Ernest W. Flick
    • English
    The second edition of this widely accepted industrial guide contains descriptions of more than 2,500 adhesives, sealants, and coatings, which are available to the electronics and related industries. The book, greatly expanded from the previous edition, is the result of information received from 80 manufacturers and distributors of these products. The data, including product specifications, represent selections from the manufacturers' descriptions made at no cost to, nor influence from, the makers or distributors of these materials. Only the most recent information has been included. It is believed that all of the products listed are currently available, which will be of interest to readers concerned with product discontinuances.
