Solidification and Crystallization Processing in Metals and Alloys

Beschreibung

Solidification and Crystallization Processing in Metals andAlloys Hasse Fredriksson KTH, Royal Institute of Technology,Stockholm, Sweden Ulla Åkerlind University of Stockholm, Sweden Solidification or crystallization occurs when atoms aretransformed from the disordered liquid state to the more orderedsolid state, and is fundamental to metals processing. Conceived asa companion volume to the earlier works, Materials Processingduring Casting (2006) and Physics of FunctionalMaterials (2008), this book analyzes solidification andcrystallization processes in depth. Starting from the thermodynamic point of view, it gives acomplete description, taking into account kinetics and masstransfer, down to the final structure. Importantly, the book showsthe relationship between the theory and the experimental results.Topics covered include: * Fundamentals of thermodynamics * Properties of interfaces * Nucleation * Crystal growth - in vapours, liquids and melts * Heat transport during solidification processes * Solidification structures - faceted, dendritic, eutectic andperitectic * Metallic glasses and amorphous alloy melts Solidification and Crystallization Processing in Metals andAlloys features many solved examples in the text, and exercises(with answers) for students. Intended for Masters and PhD studentsas well as researchers in Materials Science, Engineering, Chemistryand Metallurgy, it is also a valuable resource for engineers inindustry.
