In the hottest zones of aero-engines and industrial gas turbines, the need for outstanding properties makes it mandatory for the use of superalloys and single crystal superalloys. This kind of material has been optimized from empirical solutions, with very low input from the models for design purposes. This drawback is mainly due to the complexity of industrial alloys creating an issue of predictive modelling. This book is written to simultaneously address the most advanced knowledge in metallurgy and computational mechanics applied to superalloys used as a bare material or with thermal barrier coating system. Joining both aspects, the book helps to understand the mechanisms driving properties and their evolution from fundamental to application level. The guidelines provided are helpful for students and researchers who wish to understand issues and solutions, to optimize materials and to model them in a cross-check analysis, from atomistic to component scale. The book is useful for both students and engineers, making accessible the most advanced methods for processing, characterization and design. Provides an up to date overview of the field of superalloys Covers the relationship between microstructural evolution and mechanical behaviour at high temperatures Discusses both basic and advanced modelling and characterization techniques Includes case studies illustrating the application of the techniques presented in the book

This book covers a wide range of topics in localized damage with particular emphasis on recent advances in computational methods. It forms the proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Localized Damage: Computer-Aided Assessment and Control, which took place on 3-5 June 1996, in Fukuoka, Japan. The Localized Damage conferences are now well-established as the preeminent forum for presentation of the research on advanced computational methods to problems in fracture, fatigue and damage mechanics.

This Handbook provides an overview of the development of models of metallic materials and how the materials are affected by processing. This knowledge is central to understanding of the behavior of existing alloys and the development of new materials that affect nearly every manufacturing industry. Background on fundamental modeling methods provides the user with a solid foundation of the underlying physics that support the mechanistic method of many industrial simulation software packages. The phenomenological method is given equal coverage. The substantial efforts of the past 25 years to develop and implement computer-based models to simulate manufacturing processes, the evolution of microstructures, and the effects on the mechanical properties within component materials are detailed. The rate of change within this area of engineering has continued to increase with increasing industrial benefits from the use of such engineering tools, and the reduced cost and increased speed of computing systems required to perform the extensive model calculations. This book serves as a reference to these developments and the governing principles on which they are based. Leading experts from ten countries have contributed to this effort to provide a comprehensive reference for the modeling practitioner as well as those needing to learn modeling methods. This Volume will be joined by a companion, Volume 22B, Metals Process Simulation, that will provide details on integrating these models into software tools to allow simulation of manufacturing processes.
