The \u003cstrong\u003eAerospace Materials Handbook\u003c\/strong\u003e examines these materials, covering traditional superalloys as well as more recently developed light alloys. Capturing state-of-the-art developments in materials research for aeronautical and aerospace applications, this book provides a timely reference for both newcomers and veteran researchers in the field. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe chapters address developments in bulk materials, coatings, traditional materials, and new materials. Beginning with an overview of superalloys, including nickel-, nickel-iron-, and cobalt-based superalloys, the text covers machining, laser cladding and alloying, corrosion performance, high-temperature oxidation, thermal spraying, and nanostructured coatings. It also includes four categories of composites used in aerospace: metal matrix, polymer, carbon nanotube-reinforced polymer, and self-healing composites. The text describes preparation, processing, and fatigue of lightweight magnesium alloys, as well as an exciting new class of materials--aerogels. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book brings readers to the cutting edge of research in materials for aerospace and aeronautics. It provides an entry point into this field and presents details to stimulate future research. This unique, up-to-date resource offers knowledge to enable practitioners to develop faster, more efficient, and more reliable air- and spacecraft.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sam Zhang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439873291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439873298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/19\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 792\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.30w x 2.00d","brand":"Sam Zhang","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46825781494015,"sku":"9781439873298","price":280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c4dec3e4-226e-4bfe-b899-58bed7f843b9.jpg?v=1746073605","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aerospace-materials-handbook-sam-zhang-9781439873298","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
