Book Description
There is an increasing need for lightweight high performance materials in today's aerospace arena. High temperature engine designs, for example, require engine materials with elevated temperature strength, creep resistance, damage tolerance, oxidation resistance, and low density. Ordered intermetallics are considered potential alternatives to superalloys because they exhibit many of these properties. A major problem with most ordered alloys is their tendency toward inherently low ductility. The reasons can be quite varied depending on the alloy system, and include poor grain-boundary cohesion, an insufficient number of available slip systems (primarily in non-cubic alloys), limited cross slip, and impurity locking of dislocations. However, intermetallics of high symmetry, such as the L12 structure, have a number of slip systems, which can provide some plasticity, at least at intermediate temperatures, thus enabling the matrix to accommodate some of the strain associated with the thermal stresses.

Book Description
From the Author's Preface The rapid advances in Materials Science and Engineering . . . have convinced many that the design, production and use of advanced materials will shape future manufacturing industries. Competitive advantage within entire industries is shaped by the quality of the materials available to the manufacturers; the early availability of a new material can be leveraged manyfold. In addition, advanced materials or advanced materials processing can signal the birth or death of entire industries, and access to higher quality and lower cost material has permitted some countries to obtain market dominance in several key industries. Much of the new strategy entails harnessing the potential of innovative technology, that is, going back to the nano and molecular states of materials and new, effective ways to create, process, and eventually use them. Rather than being concerned with a relatively small number of generic materials, each possessing a broad range of uses, the materials sector is increasingly concerned with tailoring a growing list of ever more specialized materials for narrow niche applications. New products with better growth prospects such as high-performance alloys, composites, laminates, and a variety of coatings have been emphasized. Materials firms also have sought ways to overcome the weaknesses of ceramics and fully exploit their formidable strengths. "Functional materials" that do more than support structures have been developed for use in sophisticated electronic, optical, magnetic, and biotech applications. This book will . . . show what materials will be available in the next decade or two, in addition to those currently available and their effect on material design, start-up, and production processes.
