Alloy Materials and Their Allied Applications

This important book focuses on the fabrication methods and design of corrosion-resistant, magnetic, biodegradable, and shape memory alloys. An alloy is an engineered material that is a mixture of one or more metals with nonmetallic elements. The search for innovative technologies to meet the needs of efficient and sustainable production has motivated the research and development of new alloy materials. A well-defined combination of elements can create a very stable alloy with improved corrosion resistance in a wide range of adverse environments, such as automotive, robotics, aerospace, marine, and other industries. Alloy Materials and Their Allied Applications provides an in-depth overview of alloy materials and applications. The 11 chapters focus on the fabrication methods and design of corrosion-resistant, magnetic, biodegradable, and shape memory alloys. The industrial applications in the allied areas, such as biomedical, dental implants, abrasive finishing, surface treatments, photocatalysis, water treatment, and batteries, are discussed in detail. This book will help readers solve fundamental and applied problems faced in the field of allied alloys applications. Audience It is an invaluable reference guide for researchers, R&D professionals, engineers, industrial experts and postgraduate students working in the field of solid-state chemistry and physics, metallurgy, and materials science.
