This book provides an in-depth exploration of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys including various methods of preparation and production, their mechanical properties, and applications. The advantages of the mechanical alloying processing approach over other traditional powder metallurgical techniques is explained as are which alloys are best suited for this technique. Preparation steps, microstructures, properties, and applications for ferrous and non-ferrous alloys are compared, with insight on which alloys are best suited for preparation by alloying. The advantages and disadvantages of wet and dry milling are outlined. Processing, properties, and applications of high entropy alloys, ODS stainless steel, shape memory alloys, cermets, iron, copper, zinc, tungsten, aluminum, titanium, magnesium, and ceramic-based alloys are also covered, as are different powder preparation techniques and sintering methods. Outlines the different types of mechanical alloying used to prepare powders, their mechanisms, factors affecting the process, and more Covers the manufacturing, characteristics, and applications of high entropy alloys, ODS stainless steel, shape memory alloys, magnesium, ceramic-based alloys, and more Compares preparation of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, their microstructures, and properties Discusses the advantages and disadvantages of wet and dry milling

This book is an outcome of the NATO institute on surface modification which was held in Trevi, 1981. Surface modification and alloying by ion, electron or laser beams is proving to be one of the most burgeoning areas of materials science. The field covers such diverse areas as integrated circuit processing to fabricating wear and corrosion resistant surfaces on mechanical components. The common scientific questions of interest are the microstructures by the different energy deposition techniques. and associated physical properties produced The chapters constitute a critical review of the various subjects covered at Trevi. Each chapter author took responsibility for the overall review and used contributions from the many papers presented at the meeting; each participant gave a presentation. The contributors are listed at the start of each chapter. We took this approach to get some order in a large and diverse field. We are indebted to all the contributors, in particular the chapter authors for working the many papers into coherent packages; to Jim Mayer for hosting a workshop of chapter authors at Cornell and to Ian Bubb who did a sterling job in working over some of the manuscripts. Our special thanks are due to the text processing center at Bell Labs who took on the task of assembling the book. In particular Karen Lieb and Beverly Heravi typed the whole manuscript and had the entire book phototypeset using the Bell Laboratories UNIXTM system.

It was found in this investigation that an alloying reaction occurred wherever and whenever clean metallic surfaces of aluminum and uranium were brought into contact within the temperature range of 250OC to 450oC. Anodization of the aluminum surface prevented the alloying reaction. The effects of temperature. aluminum purity, and pressure between the metal surfaces on the alloying reaction were studied qualitatively. The alloying reaction produced UAl3, which appeared to be formed by the diffusion of the uranium through the UAl3 layer. (MM).

Introduces Emerging Engineering Materials Mechanical, materials, and production engineering students can greatly benefit from Engineering Materials: Research, Applications and Advances.
