Processing and Design Issues in High Temperature Materials

This book is the proceedings of the Engineering Foundation Conference on Processing and Design Issues in High Temperature Materials held in Davos, Switzerland, May 19-24, 1996. The conference addressed current concerns of developers and users of high temperature materials, including superalloys, ceramics, intermetallics, and composites. Discussion areas include alloy design principles; microstructures and mechanical properties of potentially competitive materials such as ceramics and intermetallics, as well as their composites; environmental effects on mechanical properties; and other environmental issues such as oxidation.
