  • Ceramic Materials Research

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 1
    • R. Brook
    • English
    The high expectations set on ceramic materials in recent years have always been balanced by the very considerable difficulties seen in reaching the required levels of reproducibility and cost. Indications of the significant progress, which can be seen in the papers presented in this volume, coupled with the recognition that considerable problems still lie between the state of the art and the full and confident exploitation of the many merits of ceramics, provide a healthy basis for the profitable selection of future research directions. The mastery of ceramic processing and the imaginative matching of the properties of these materials to diverse applications remain among the most promising sectors for technological development.

    • Gary F. McGuire
    • English
    This handbook is a broad review of semiconductor materials and process technology, with emphasis on very large-scale integration (VLSI) and ultra large scale integration (ULSI). The technology of integrated circuit (IC) processing is expanding so rapidly that it can be difficult for the scientist working in one area to keep abreast of developments in other areas of the field. This handbook solves this problem by bringing together "snapshots" of the various aspects of the technology.

    • English
    @from:From the PrefaceAlthough it has been suspected since ancient times that metals participate in biological processes, details of the manner in which they might exert a function have until recently remained unknown. It is now appreciated that metals play roles in catalysis, hormone action, gene and other regulatory functions, structural stabilization of macromolecules, muscle contraction, nerve conduction, and transport. "Metallobiochemistry... is a field which has grown and matured rapidly over the past decade. Metalloenzymes have been the central investigating targets. This volume provides both the emerging and practicing metallobiochemist with the necessary tools to answer what should be the number one and two questions: Is this enzyme a metalloenzyme? What metal is it?

    Rapidly Quenched Metals 6, Volume 1 covers the proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Rapidly Quenched Metals held at Le Centre Sheraton, Montreal, Canada from August 3 to 7, 1987. The said conference discusses a wide variety of topics in the field of rapidly solidified metals. The book is divided into two parts. Part 1 covers topics that involve the formation and transformation in metallic materials; amorphous metals; the applications of mechanical alloying; and rapid melting and quenching. Part 2 discusses the formation and structure of amorphous alloys, which includes topics such as the metastability of amorphous phases; amorphous alloy powders; and studies about the properties of different amorphous alloys. The text is recommended for those involved in materials science and metallurgy, especially those studying rapidly solidified metals and amorphous alloys.

  • Mechanics and Chemistry in Lubrication

    • 1st Edition
    • A. Dorinson + 1 more
    • English
    Although it is widely recognized that friction, wear and lubrication are linked together in a single interdisciplinary complex of scientific learning and technological practice, fragmented and specialized approaches still predominate. In this book, the authors examine lubrication from an interdisciplinary viewpoint. They demonstrate that once the treatment of lubrication is released from the confines of the fluid film concept, this interdisciplinary approach comes into full play. Tribological behavior in relation to lubrication is then examined from two major points of view: one is mechanical, not only with respect to the properties and behavior of the lubricant but also of the surfaces being lubricated. The other is chemical and encompasses the chemistry of the lubricant, the surfaces and the ambient surroundings. It is in the emphasis on the interaction of the basic mechanical and chemical processes in lubrication that this book differs from conventional treatments.

  • Corrosion: Aqueous Processes and Passive Films

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 23
    • J C Scully
    • English
    Corrosion: Aqueous Processes and Passive Films deals with the aqueous corrosion of passive films. Pitting and stress corrosion are discussed at length, along with repassivation kinetics and the corrosion resistance of amorphous (or glassy) alloys. The corrosion of anodized films and dental alloys are also considered. Comprised of seven chapters, this volume begins with a discussion on pitting corrosion and three types of pitting, namely, electrochemical depassivation, chemical depassivation, and etch pitting. The reader is then introduced to the theoretical aspects of the corrosion of glassy alloys as well as their resistance to uniform corrosion; localized corrosion; stress corrosion cracking and hydrogen embrittlement; and applications of corrosion-resistant glassy alloys. Subsequent chapters explore stress corrosion cracking; repassivation kinetics; the nature of anodic films on aluminum, with emphasis on the anodic polarization of aluminum in appropriate solutions; and the corrosion of dental materials. The book concludes by evaluating the use of alternating current techniques in the study of corrosion and passivity. This monograph will be of interest to engineers, metallurgists, and materials scientists.
