Gamma Titanium Aluminide Alloys Science and Technology

This book, the first entirely dedicated to titanium aluminide alloys, encompasses a broad range of topics ranging from basic research to processing technologies for real applications in key industries such as aerospace, automotive and power conversion. As such, it describes microstructural complexity down to the nanometer scale and important structure/property relationships. This results in a more detailed coverage of fundamental aspects than typically found in textbooks, making the book relevant reading not only for the TiAl research community, but also to a wide range of physical metallurgists, product developers and industrial companies with interests in advanced lightweight components for elevated temperature applications. The authors are at the Helmholtz Zentrum Geesthacht, previously known as the GKSS Research Centre, Geesthacht, Germany.Appel, Fritz is the author of 'Gamma Titanium Aluminide Alloys Science and Technology', published 2011 under ISBN 9783527315253 and ISBN 352731525X.
