Nanostructured Metallic Alloys- Synthesis, Properties and Applications 12+

📖 Advancements in nanotechnology for material processing via combustionsynthesis have spurred the development of superalloys that provide improvedprotective properties. Nano-scale reactant particles offer increased homogeneitythat improve the micro-structural features and macroscopic propertiesof the synthesized product. This book examines the use of self-propagatinghigh-temperature synthesis as a practical alternative to the conventionalmethods for alloy production. Several important issues pertaining to nanostructuredmetallic alloys will be discussed such as: incorporation of a nanoscaleparticulate additive to increase performance properties, activationenergy and ignition behavior of nanocomposites compared with traditionalalloys, and the production of a highly porous, nanostructured, heat-insulatingmetallic alloy. This book delivers unique analysis and experimental design solutionsneeded to conceptualize and produce nanostructed intermetallics. It isan indispensible resource for students, researchers, and practicing engineersworking with materials and nanotechnology.
