Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thorough understanding of the processes governing particle strengthening of metals and alloys is crucial for anyone engaged in developing structural materials or designing with them. Now you can have easy access to the information you need with this unique guide, the most comprehensive and up-to-date resource available on this important subject. Written by an acknowledged leader in the field, Particle Strengthening of Metals and Alloys offers complete coverage of shearing and bypassing of particles by dislocations. From Friedel's model to Foreman and Makin's work and beyond, the book features a broad range of both analytical approaches and computer simulations, and applies these techniques to key strengthening mechanisms--including chemical, modulus mismatch, stacking fault energy mismatch, lattice mismatch, and order strengthening. You will find detailed treatment of the Orowan process of particle circumvention, plus separate chapters on the superposition of different strengthening mechanisms, particle hardening of magnetic materials, and more. Combining a wealth of crucial information in one volume, Particle Strengthening of Metals and Alloys is essential reading for anyone whose work demands maximum understanding of the properties of materials. Scientists and others will and this unique text to be an indispensable addition to their professional library. Here is the complete guide to particle strengthening mechanisms for metals and alloys. With full coverage of both shearing and bypassing of particles by dislocations, this high-grade text makes it easy for you to access the information you need--quickly and reliably. Whether you are engaged in the development of structural materials or are simply seeking a better understanding of the properties of materials, Particle Strengthening of Metals and Alloys is an invaluable and matchless resource which features: * Complete coverage of shearing processes of coherent particles, including analytical approaches and computer simulations * A broad range of particle-dislocation interaction mechanisms, including chemical, lattice mismatch, and order hardening * In-depth treatment of the Orowan process of particle circumvention * Superposition of different strengthening mechanisms, particle hardening of ferromagnetic materials, and more
