Product Review
1999 This volume forms a valuable addition to the existing volumes in this series, and like the others, will be used widely as a standard reference for research in the topics covered. --
P.B. Hirsch, IntermetallicsThis series is surely the best in its field and will be essential to materials scientists, solid-state physicists and other research workers who deal with the basics of mechanical behavior. --

Product Description
Hardbound. A substantial part of this volume is devoted to the plastic properties of alloys having the ordered L12 structure, typified by Ni3Al. These structures are of engineering importance because they form an essential constituent, and in modern alloys, the major constituent, of superalloys.
The volume opens with a historical introduction by one of the pioneers of the subject who had already observed the anomalous temperature dependence of these structures in 1967. The following chapters deal with a variety of aspects of these alloys including the dislocation arrangements which are revealed by transmission electron microscopy; the anomalous plastic properties of these alloys, especially the positive temperature dependence of flow stress to the structure of the dislocation cores; the theory which considers the way in which dislocations in L12 become pinned at certain points and the way in which these pinning obstacles
