Alloys and Intermetallic Compounds

<p>This book focuses on the role of modeling in the design of alloys and intermetallic compounds. It includes an introduction to the most important and most used modeling techniques such as CALPHAD and ab-initio methods as well as a section devoted to the latest developments in applications of alloys. The book emphasizes the correlation between modeling and technological developments while discussing topics such as wettability of Ultra High Temperature Ceramics by metals active brazing of diamonds to metals in cutting tools surface issues in medicine novel Fe-based superconductors metallic glasses high entropy alloys and thermoelectric materials.</p>
