Suryanarayana C. (Ed.) Non-equilibrium Processing of Materials. Vol.2 (Pergamon Materials Series)

Pergamon / Elsevier Science Ltd. - 1999. - 459 Pages. - ISBN: 0-08-042697-2The rapid technological developments during the later half of the 20th century have demanded materials that are stronger, capable of use at much higher temperatures, more corrosion-resistant, and much less expensive than those currently used. These demands become even more significant on the threshold of the new century and the millennium. Significant improvements in properties can only be achieved by processing the materials under far-from-equilibrium (or non-equilibrium) conditions.THERMODYNAMICS AND KINETICS OF METASTABLE
