High-temperature Structural Materials

by Robert W. Cahn (Editor), Malcolm McLean (Editor), Anthony Evans (Editor)

Conventional materials, such as nickel based alloys, will not be able to match the required performance specifications for the future generation of high temperature materials. This book reviews the characteristics and potential of a wide range of candidate superalloy replacements, such as ceramics, intermetallics, and their composites. Particular attention is devoted to the problems of processing and design with these materials.
