9 12cr Heat Resistant Steels

With China becoming a major force in steel research and development, this book highlights the work of a group from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, led by the first four authors. This group has the ideal knowledge base for writing this updated book on heat-resistant steels. The fifth author, Sha, based in the UK, has been collaborating with the Chinese group since 2009 and is the lead or sole author of four research books, all published in English. The last book, “Steels: from materials science to structural engineering,” was published by Springer in 2013. Within two months of its publication, researchers at the University of Science and Technology Liaoning had requested translation of the book into Chinese. Springer obliged, and the Chinese version was published by the Metallurgical Industry Press, Beijing, in August 2014. Sha has organized and completed the writing of the proposed book, though the main research was done in China.

Steels and computer-based modelling are fast growing fields in materials science as well as structural engineering, demonstrated by the large amount of recent literature. Steels: From Materials Science to Structural Engineering combines steels research and model development, including the application of modelling techniques in steels. The latest research includes structural engineering modelling, and novel, prototype alloy steels such as heat-resistant steel, nitride-strengthened ferritic/martensitic steel and low nickel maraging steel. Researchers studying steels will find the topics vital to their work. Materials experts will be able to learn about steels used in structural engineering as well as modelling and apply this increasingly important technique in their steel materials research and development.

This book reports on topics at the interface between mechanical and materials engineering, emphasizing aspects related to design, simulation, and manufacturing. It covers advanced methods in design engineering, applied to mechatronic systems, industrial equipment, turbines and drives. It reports on methods for improving the separation and prilling processes. It covers cutting-edge theoretical and experimental findings relating to material behavior, and materials, composites and coatings design. Further, it reports on advanced material treatments such as chemical-thermocycling, plasma deposition, and mechanical strengthening processes, among others. Based on the 6th International Conference on Design, Simulation, Manufacturing: The Innovation Exchange (DSMIE-2023), held on June 6–9, 2023, in High Tatras, Slovak Republic, this second volume of a 2-volume set provides academics and professionals with extensive information on trends and technologies, and challenges and practice-oriented experience in all the above-mentioned areas.

This book integrates aspects of computational materials science, physical metallurgy, alloy design, structure-properties relationships, and applications of advanced multicomponent alloys. It can serve as a textbook for courses on advanced structural and functional materials for undergraduate and graduate students. Notably, the book compiles cutting-edge research on the progress of materials science of multicomponent alloys from fundamentals to engineering applications. It can be of considerable interest for researchers and scientists in the field of materials science and engineering, mechanical engineering, and metallurgy engineering. In addition, this book not only summarizes the compositions, properties, and applications of various types of multicomponent alloys but also presents a complete idea on the efficient design of materials and processes to satisfy targeted performance in materials and structures. Thus, it can also be used as a reference book for engineers and researchers in industries.

This DVD contains a collection of papers presented at EnergyMaterials 2014, a conference organized jointly by The ChineseSociety for Metals (CSM) and The Minerals, Metals & MaterialsSociety (TMS), and held November 4-6, 2014, in Xi’an, ShaanxiProvince, China. With the rapid growth of the world’s energyproduction and consumption, the important role of energy materialshas achieved worldwide acknowledgement. Material producers andconsumers constantly seek the possibility of increasing strength,improving fabrication and service performance, simplifyingprocesses, and reducing costs. Energy Materials 2014 has provided aforum for academics, researchers, and engineers around the world toexchange state-of-the-art development and information on issuesrelated to energy materials. The papers on the DVD are organized around the followingtopics: Materials for Coal-Based Systems Materials for Gas Turbine Systems Materials for Nuclear Systems Materials for Oil and Gas Materials for Pressure Vessels

The welding process is used by manufacturing companies worldwide. Due to this broad application, many studies have been carried out in various fields to improve the quality and reduce the cost of welded components and structures. Welding is a complex and non-linear physical and mechanistic process. This book relates the importance of automation and control in welding processes, highlights some modern processes, and shows, among other influential welding factors, the importance of metal thermomechanical processing studies.
