Innovative Lightweight and High Strength Alloys: Multiscale Integrated Processing, Experimental, and Modeling Techniques

Provides multiscale processing, experimental and modeling techniques overviews and perspectives that highlight current roadblocks to optimal design of new alloys alongside solutions. Critical microstructural, chemical and mechanical aspects are considered with techniques for significantly improving mechanical properties. Case studies, applications and hands-on techniques that can be put into immediate practice are included throughout. Sections cover processing techniques for various alloys, including aluminum, titanium, martensitic, austenitic, and others. Additive manufacturing of alloys is also covered, along with updates on mechanical quasi-static, chemically-based, and dynamic experimentation techniques, and more. The book concludes with a modeling section that features several chapters covering multiscale, microstructural, combinatorial computational, and machine learning modeling techniques.
