Advanced Light Alloys and Composites

“Advanced Light Alloys and Composites” by R. Ciach, published by Springer Science & Business Media on September 30, 1998, is a comprehensive resource that delves into the structural and mechanical properties of light alloys and composites. This edition spans 518 pages and is presented in English, offering insights that connect the fields of materials science and engineering. The book addresses advanced light materials, focusing on their structure, properties, technology, and applications, while also exploring fundamental issues related to alloy constitution and phase transformations.
Readers will find a detailed examination of aluminium alloys, including their properties, casting technology, thermomechanical treatment, and structure. The text also covers magnesium alloys, especially those containing rare earth metal constituents, along with discussions on commercial titanium alloys and intermetallic compounds. Additionally, metallic composites and the latest engineering techniques are presented in both theoretical and practical contexts, making this book a valuable reference for those interested in technology and engineering, particularly in the realms of metallurgy and manufacturing.
Official synopsis Publisher
An expert exposition of the structural and mechanical properties of light alloys and composites, bridging the gap between scientists and industrial engineers in its consideration of advanced light materials, their structure, properties, technology and application. Includes basic problems of alloy constitution and phase transformations.
The aluminium alloys are the main topic of the book, consideration being given to their properties, casting technology, thermomechanical treatment and structure. Attention is also given to the magnesium alloys, particularly those having rare earth metal constituents. Both commercial titanium alloys and intermetallic compounds are discussed, as are metallic composites. The latest engineering techniques are discussed in both theoretical and practical terms.
