Materials for Transportation Technology EUROMAT - Volume 1 Edited by P.-J. Winkler Engineering progress essentially depends on the availability and the intelligent use of materials. For many key industry areas, Europe constitutes a premier place for the development of new materials and their applications. EUROMAT '99, the biannual meeting of the Federation of European Materials Societies is the most comprehensive European event to demonstrate the wideranging interdisciplinary use of materials. A selection of the best papers presented here have been united in this 13-volume set, thus providing a survey of the latest developments in research and application in the entire field of engineering materials and advanced production technologies. Light design, high safety and comfort, and environmental compatibility are the requirements which influence the use of materials in automobiles. In the aerospace industry, there is today a strong necessity to substantially reduce development time and costs. Rail vehicles and ships are characterized by extremely long lifetime and high mileages. The achievement of these different objectives relies on the availability of novel or improved materials and related processes.
The relation between microstructures and mechanical properties has always been a challenge for materials science. Modelling the formation, properties and long term stability of microstructures is one of the most impressive and promising advances of modern materials science. This book presents recent advances and challenges in this fast evolving cross disciplinary field. It addresses applications of classical physical metallurgy, and the need for new modelling approaches, both on the analytical viewpoint and on the simulation side.
A common feature of advanced functional materials - such as thin films, layered structures and all kinds of nanoscale materials (ultrafine powders, polycrystals, nanocomposites, nanoporous or nanotubular materials) - is that their properties are mainly influenced by the structure and composition of their surfaces and interfaces. This book discusses the processing, fabrication, structure, properties and applications of such interface-controlled materials, highlighting the problem of determining the structure and properties of these advanced materials by different techniques.
Steels are by far the most important construction materials for many applications. Many modern concepts of materials science are being used in steels, e.g., in micro-alloyed steels minute amounts of alloying elements form nanoscale carbides to yield superior strength values. All of these mechanisms have to be controlled in the production facilities on a scale of hundreds of tons. This book addresses these new concepts for improving the efficiency of production technologies
The innovation of new materials for implants to achieve enhanced performance and lifetimes in the body could directly leed both to quality of life for patients and opportunities for wealth creation in associated industries. Some notable examples of major clinical applications of hard-tissue implants are in total joint replacement, spinal protheses, and dental tooth roots. Other topics addressed in this book are soft tissue implants, drug release technology, and corrosion and allergies of biomaterials.
The use of high-temperature materials in current and future applications, including silicone materials for handling hot foods and metal alloys for developing high-speed aircraft and spacecraft systems, has generated a growing interest in high-temperature technologies. High Temperature Materials and Mechanisms explores a broad range of issues relate
Intermetallics are now close to the commercial application stage. TiAl-based alloys show good high-temperature specific stiffness and strength, while other intermetallics, such as the iron aluminides and silicide-based materials, are especially attractive due to their good corrosion or oxidation resistance. This book reviews activities that relate to improvements in processing methods and advances in the understanding of the property/microstructure relationship.
Surface technology is a truly interdisciplinary topic in materials science. Nearly every component - no matter whether made of steel, metal, alloys, ceramics or plastic - is coated prior to its application. The integration of protective coatings into the design of complex components is becoming increasingly important and there is a great demand for novel coating processes, comprising surface modification and deposition. Modern coatings are being developed that can meet several functional requirements simultaneously, e.g., transparent and electrically conductive coatings for display applications. A special feature of this book is the section on laser surface treatment.
