About this book

Conventional materials, such as nickel based alloys, will not be able to match the required performance specifications for the future generation of high temperature materials. This book reviews the characteristics and potential of a wide range of candidate superalloy replacements, such as ceramics, intermetallics, and their composites. Particular attention is devoted to the problems of processing and design with these materials.

Reviews

Researchers in the field of High-Temperature Structural Materials working in the industry or in academia will read the book High-Temperature Structural Materials...with great interest...I can recommend [this book] without any reservations to all my colleagues. - Zeitschrift fuer Metallkunde; It will make excellent reading for postgraduate students. - Materials World
