Solid Phase Transformations: (Volume 138 Solid State Phenomena)

This special-topic book, devoted to “Solid Phase Transformations” , covers a broad range of phenomena which are of importance in a number of technological processes. Most commercial alloys undergo thermal treatment after casting, with the aim of imparting desired compositions and/or optimal morphologies to the component phases.
