A book about Magnesium Alloys Technology and Applications. The latest info, including grain refinement, micro-alloying, creep or fatigue properties, coatings, surface engineering.
Magnesium and Its Alloys: Technology and Applications
/ L.A. Dobrzanski, M. Bamberger, G.E. Totten
- Covers a wide scope of topics related to magnesium science and engineering, from manufacturing and production to finishing and applications.
- Contains thirteen chapters, each contributed by experts in their respective fields, and presents a broad spectrum of new information on pure magnesium, magnesium alloys, and magnesium matrix MgMCs composites.
Covers such topics as:
- computational thermodynamics,
- modern Mg-alloys with enhanced creep or fatigue properties,
- melt treating (grain refinement, micro-alloying, and the resulting solidification and growth),
- coatings,
- surface engineering,
- environmental protection (recycling and green energy storage and production), as well as biomedical applications.
Aimed at researchers, professionals, and graduate students. Is especially useful to those in the fields of materials engineering, mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, and metallurgy.
