Grain boundary migration is key to materials microstructural processes such as recrystallization and is essential to the creation of new materials. While this importance is reflected in the literature, this is the first book to focus on the thermodynamics, kinetics, and applications of individual gr[...]
Adopting a holistic approach to materials simulation, this monograph covers four very important structural materials: aluminum, carbon steels, superalloys, and plastics. Following an introduction to the concept of integral modeling, the book goes on to cover a wide range of production steps and usag[...]
