Pekguleryuz et al. TMS (Minerals, Metals...Soc.) 2008 449 pages $299.00 Hardcover TN799 Papers from a March 2008 meeting are presented here, in sections on primary production, wrought alloys, thermodynamics thermodynamics, branch of science concerned with the nature of heat and its conversion to mechanical, electric, and chemical energy. Historically, it grew out of efforts to construct more efficient heat engines—devices for extracting useful work from expanding and phase transformations, casting, advanced magnesium materials, alloy microstructures and properties, corrosion and surface finishing, and creep resistant magnesium alloys. Some specific topics covered include deformation mechanisms of AZ31 magnesium alloy, elastic constants of magnesium compounds from first-principles calculations, and thermodynamic ther·mo·dy·nam·ic adj. 1. Characteristic of or resulting from the conversion of heat into other forms of energy. 2. Of or relating to thermodynamics. modeling of porosity formation during non- equilibrium solidification in magnesium alloy castings. Other subjects covered are direct chill casting and plastic deformation plastic deformation, n any irreversible deformation of tissues. of magnesium alloys, strengthening of case Mg alloys by friction stir processing, the effect of twinning on the mechanical behavior of Mg- Zn-Y alloys, and spray coatings for improving galvanic corrosion and slide wear resistance of Mg alloys. The editor teaches materials engineering at McGill University, Canada. ([c]20082005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR) |
