Suitable for engineers, medics, manufacturers and process engineers, this book explains the process and techniques of cutting in metals and non-metals. It emphasizes on biomaterials, plastics and non-metals.[...]

This work is a classic reference text for metallurgists, material scientists and crystallographers. The first edition was published in 1965. The first part of that edition was revised and re-published in 1975 and again in 1981. The present two-part set represents the eagerly awaited full revision by[...]

Nickel, cobalt and platinum group metals are key elements for materials processing. Stainless steels and CoNiFe airplane engine super alloys are examples of practical usage. This book describes and explains the methods by which these three related ores and recyclables are made into high purity metal[...]

High Temperature Oxidation and Corrosion of Metals, Second Edition, provides a high level understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of high temperature alloy oxidation. It uses this understanding to develop methods of predicting oxidation rates and the way they change with temperature, gas chemist[...]

This reference on metal alkoxides and aryloxides includes data on structural details. It details synthesis and characterization, physical and chemical properties of alkoxo and aryloxo derivative, heterometal alkoxides and metal oxoalkoxides of industrial importance.[...]

Homeostasis and Toxicology of Non-Essential Metals synthesizes the explosion of new information on the molecular, cellular, and organismal handling of metals in fish in the past 15 years. These elements are no longer viewed by fish physiologists as "heavy metals" that kill fish by suffocation, but r[...]

In this book the authors focus on the description of the physical nature of cleavage fracture to offer scientists, engineers and students a comprehensive physical model which vividly describes the cleavage microcracking processes operating on the local (microscopic) scale ahead of a defect. The desc[...]

This book is an attempt to explain hardness measurements of metals in terms of some of their more basic physical properties. It does not deal with the atomic and crystalline mechanism of elastic or plastic deformation, but starting with the elastic and plastic characteristics it shows that the hardn[...]

Minerals, Metals and Sustainability examines the exploitation of minerals and mineral products and the implications for sustainability of the consumption of finite mineral resources and the wastes associated with their production and use. It provides a multi-disciplinary approach that integrates the[...]
