Refractory, Hard and Intermetallic Materials

For many applications, powder metallurgy (PM) is the only way to economically produce so-called impossible materials such as homogenous fine grained immiscible materials, nanomaterials, highly alloyed segregation free tool steels or nickel base alloys, functionally graded materials, bonded hard materials or rare earth hard magnets, to name just a few. This data collection offers authoritative coverage of critically evaluated and reviewed data on physical, chemical and mechanical properties, including information available from conference proceedings, company literature and the internationally very different standards on PM materials, industry catalogues and brochures, research reports and scientific journals. The collected data was so extensive that the editors decided to divide the volume in two parts, subvolume VIII/2A1: "Metals and Magnetic Materials", and subvolume VIII2A2: "Refractory, Hard and Intermetallic Materials". It covers physical, chemical and mechanical properties of the materials, as well as production, compaction and preparation methods and descriptions of various applications.
