Basic Compounds for Superalloys: Mechanical Properties

Basic Compounds for Superalloys: Mechanical Properties explores the mechanical properties of the iron group based intermetallic compounds which are the basis of super-alloys. Among the mechanical properties considered, chapters are devoted to tensile tests, compressive stress and hardness. Detailed considerations are devoted to time dependent deformation, namely creep and cyclic deformation commonly known as fatigue. In addition, a discussion of the nano crystalline L12 and B2 structures and their mechanical properties is included. Fracture and failure of these materials in both macro and nano iron based compounds are also considered. This book will be useful for engineers, scientists and technical persons in the fields of Materials Engineering, Material Science, Mechanics and Mechanical Engineers, Chemical Engineers.
