Ultra-High Temperature Materials II - Igor L Shabalin Gebunden

This exhaustive work in three volumes and over 1300 pages provides a thorough treatment of ultra-high temperature materials with melting points over 2500 °C. The first volume focuses on Carbon and Refractory Metals whilst the second and third are dedicated solely to Refractory compounds and the third to Refractory Alloys and Composites respectively. Topics included are physical (crystallographic thermodynamic thermo physical electrical optical physico-mechanical nuclear) and chemical (solid-state diffusion interaction with chemical elements and compounds interaction with gases vapour s and aqueous solutions) properties of the individual physico-chemical phases of carbon (graphite graphene) refractory metals (W Re Os Ta Mo Nb Ir) and compounds (oxides nitrides carbides borides silicides) with melting points in this range. It will be of interest to researchers engineers postgraduate graduate and undergraduate students alike. The reader is provided with the full qualitative and quantitative assessment for the materials which could be applied in various engineering devices and environmental conditions at ultra-high temperatures on the basis of the latest updates in the field of physics chemistry materials science and engineering.
