Description for Chemistry and Physics of Mechanical Hardness
Hardcover. Hardness is one the most important properties of solid materials and requires a comprehensive treatment. There are books on hardness testing and on the hardnesses of particular types of materials, but there are none that treat the physics and chemistry of the subject in a general way. Series: Wiley Series on Processing of Engineering Materials. Num Pages: 214 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: TGMD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 242 x 162 x 19. Weight in Grams: 510.
A comprehensive treatment of the chemistry and physics of mechanical hardness
Chemistry and Physics of Mechanical Hardness presents a general introduction to hardness measurement and the connections between hardness and fundamental materials properties.
Beginning with an introduction on the importance of hardness in the development of technology, the book systematically covers:
- Indentation
- Chemical bonding
- Plastic deformation
- Covalent semiconductors
- Simple metals and alloys
- Transition metals
- Intermetallic compounds
- Ionic crystals
- Metal-metalloids
- Oxides
- Molecular crystals
- Polymers
- Glasses
- Hot hardness
- Chemical hardness
- Super-hard materials
Chemistry and Physics of Mechanical Hardness is essential reading for materials scientists, mechanical engineers, metallurgists, ceramists, chemists, and physicists who are interested in learning how hardness is related to other properties and to the building ... Read more
