Strength Of Metals And Alloys

Strength of Metals and Alloys, Volume 1 covers the proceedings of the Seventh International Conference on the Strength of Metals and Alloys. The book presents papers that discuss the properties of various metals and alloys. The text contains 133 studies, which are grouped into six sections. The first section covers the work hardening consolidation, while the second section discusses anisotropy and texture. The third section tackles the solute hardening and alloy theory, and the fourth section covers precipitation hardening. The fifth section discusses martensitic and phase transformations, and the sixth section deals with creep resistance. The book will be of great interest to researchers and professionals whose work requires knowledge about the properties of metals and alloys.

Strength of Metals and Alloys is a collection of papers presented at the 5th International Conference on the Strength of Metals and Alloys held in Aachen, Germany, on August 27-31, 1979. Contributors explore advances that have been made in understanding the strength of metals and alloys and cover topics ranging from plasticity and crystal structure to microstructural models for friction and wear; dynamical effects in deformation; and microscopic mechanisms of metal fatigue. This volume is comprised of 13 chapters and begins with an analysis of the differences between the plastic deformation of face-centered cubic, hexagonal close-packed, and body-centered cubic metals in relation to intrinsic dislocation mobilities resulting from the interaction of the dislocation core with the crystal lattice. The reader is then introduced to dislocation models for fatigue and their application to cases of friction and wear. The following chapters focus on the mechanisms controlling the creep of single phase metals and alloys; precipitation and dispersion hardening; deformation of polycrystals; solid solution hardening; and superposition of alloy hardening, strain hardening, and dynamic recovery. The results of in situ deformation experiments using high-voltage electron microscopy are also presented. The final chapter is devoted to the mechanisms underlying the recovery and recrystallization of doped tungsten. This monograph will be a valuable resource for metallurgists and materials scientists.

This text is presented in two sections, the first on the strength of pure metals, the second on the effect of alloying on strength.
