Advances in Metallic Alloys

About the Book Series

Metallic alloys are the backbone of the world’s economy with the applications from spaceships, airplanes and cars to buildings, bridges and to computers and mobiles phones. The variety of metals and their properties is huge and covers almost all current and future neds of the mankind, with sustainability and emission-free production, manufacturing and use becoming vital. This book series covers the entire spectrum of metallic materials and their technology, from physical metallurgy and materials science to specific technological advances and applications. One of the original aims of this series was to bring to the international audience the best examples of national achievements from the developing countries. Currently the series is open for contributions from around the world.
