Publisher's Synopsis
Advancements in Powder Metallurgy: Processing, Applications, and Properties addresses a critical issue in academic scholarship by providing a comprehensive resource that has been lacking in the field. Existing books often fall short by merely covering the basics of powder preparation, sintering methods, and general applications, leaving scholars with a limited understanding of the subject. This knowledge gap has hindered innovative research and slowed the progress of metallurgy and mechanical engineering. However, with this groundbreaking book, the tide is turning. The book brings together twenty-one chapters authored by renowned pioneers in the field, delving deep into the realm of mechanical alloying. It covers the evolution of this technique, various alloy preparation methods, their advantages and limitations, and the synthesis of nanostructured materials. Unlike other resources, this volume goes beyond the basics and comprehensively covers the fabrication of a wide range of alloys, including biomaterials, hybrid nanomaterials, smart materials, super alloys, and ceramic materials, all achieved through the transformative process of mechanical alloying. By consolidating essential information in one resource, Advancements in Powder Metallurgy: Processing, Applications, and Properties fills a significant gap in the existing literature. It equips academic scholars and engineering students with the necessary knowledge to unlock the full potential of mechanical alloying and make meaningful contributions to the field. With its emphasis on simplicity and accessibility, this book promises to inspire a new wave of research, reignite interest in metallurgy and mechanical engineering, and empower scholars to explore novel applications and contribute to the advancements in this field.
