Gamma Titanium Aluminides 1999

The 106 papers were selected from the presentations and have undergone stringent peer review.

They consider nearly every aspect of current gamma-alloy technology, such as fundamental science, alloy development and design, process development, flow and fracture, creep behavior, microstructure and property evaluation, environmental behavior, and applications.

The specific topics include powder metallurgy structures for use in various high-temperature aerospace applications, experiments and atomistic simulations of the deformation of polysynthetically twinned single crystals with near-hard orientations, the interplay of thermodynamics and transformation kinetics on microstructure development, solid solution strengthening mechanisms, studying localized strain at notches using displacement mapping and microstructural characterization, and the influence of gaseous species on the oxidation behavior at high temperature.

The illustrations tend to be of high quality.
