Phase transformations : examples from titanium and zirconium alloys
"This book deals with phase transformations mainly from a physical metallurgist's viewpoint. Almost all types of phase transformations and reactions that are commonly encountered in inorganic materials are covered and the underlying thermodynamic, kinetic and crystallographic aspects elucidated. In metallurgical literature mere are many examples from iron based alloys for describing the characteristic features of different types of transformations. Here the authors cite examples of phase transformations and reactions in titanium and zirconium based systems and successfully demonstrate that these alloys, intermetallics and ceramics exhibit an even wider range of phase changes as compared to ferrous systems, and that the simpler crystallography involved renders them more suitable for developing a basic understanding of the transformations." "This book will be useful to metallurgists, solid-state physicists and chemists, ceramists and mineralogists."--BOOK JACKET
