The book contains the first physically based and uniform representation of several different phenomena of the time-dependent mechanical properties of glass and metals (steel and Aluminium). It offers a collection of scientifically based formulas for the analysis of the data of stress relaxation, of the background of internal friction, of creep rupture, and of fatigue which is helpful for a better prediction and interpolation of the materials data in practical application. This will help to impro...

The history of aluminum takes in metallurgy, engineering, global business and politics and the advance of civilization itself. The earth's most abundant metal, aluminum remained largely inaccessible until after the Industrial Revolution. A precious commodity in 1850s, it later became a strategic resource: while steel won World War I, aluminum won World War II. A generation later, it would make space travel possible and the 1972 Pioneer spacecraft would carry a message from mankind to extraterre...

"Principles of Electronic Materials and Devices", Second Edition, is a greatly enhanced version of the highly successful text "Principles of Electrical Engineering Materials and Devices". It is designed for a first course on electronic materials given in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, and Physics Departments at the undergraduate level. The second edition has numerous revisions, additional sections such as "Phonons" and "Optoelectronic Materials and Devices", more solv...

This book begins with a thorough background of the subject. Next, the authors discuss the significance of electrometallurgy within the broader spectrum of science and technology. They then expand the previously laid theoretical base and explain mechanisms of metal deposition and applications for all existing related technologies. The book will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students involved with electrochemistry of metals, materials science, plating technologies, electronics mater...

This multi-volume work catalogues the main taxonomic, nomenclatorial and distribution data of 25,000 fly species described from the Palaearctic Region. The complete series will comprise fourteen volumes, thirteen of which will list some 132 Diptera families while the fourteenth will contain the cumulative index. Each fly family will be accompanied by a concise introduction which describes the family, briefly characterizes the imago and (if known) larva, the life-cycle, distribution and the numbe...

This book covers the field between extractive metallurgy and solidification and subsequent processing. An important point the book stresses is that the principles are the same in the treatment of various different metals. Someone concerned with the purification of one metal may learn from results and experiences gained on other metals and alloys. The specifics of metals such as iron and steel, aluminium, and copper are discussed in examples and in problems at the end of each chapter. The book is...

This work compiles not only comprehensive experimental results on the rare earth metals in metallurgy, but also some important industrial applications. China is rich in rare earth metal resources, and alkaline earth elements are being used increasingly. This work includes data on the physico-chemical characteristics of these elements in metallic melts. In obtaining the data, the author and his colleagues have used highly precise analyzers such as auto-radiographs. Some of these studies are publi...

This book provides a cohesive overview of innovations, advances in processing and characterization, and applications for high entropy alloys (HEAs) in performance-critical and non-performance-critical sectors. It covers manufacturing and processing, advanced characterization and analysis techniques, and evaluation of mechanical and physical properties. With chapters authored by a team of internationally renowned experts, the volume includes discussions on high entropy thermoelectric materials, c...

Zu einem bekannten Vorlesungsversuch wird eine Loesung von Kupfersulfat mit reinem Wasser uberschichtet und das Ganze sich selbst uberlassen. Zunachst besteht zwischen der blauen Loesung und dem Wasser eine scharfe Grenze. Schon nach wenigen Tagen lasst sich ein Vordringen der blauen Farbe des Kupfersulfates nach oben, also dem Schwerefeld entgegen, beobachten. Diese Erscheinung bezeichnen wir als Diffusion. Jedes flussige System, das aus mischbaren Kom- ponenten besteht und sich in einem abgesc...
