Creep: Real of Aeroengine

CREEP : Realm of Aeroengine – discusses creep and corrosion problems of aircraft engine alloys. The book introduces first the most accepted creep concepts and fracture, then methods for oxidation hot corrosion and finally superalloys. The book is divided into five chapters. Chapter 1 gives an introduction to high temperature problems. Also, enumerates the materials for high temperature applications. Chapter 2 gives a brief review of creep deformation, the mechanism and factors affecting creep. Chapter 3 spells out time hardening, strain hardening, the stress rupture and remaining life assessment phenomenology. Chapter 4 gives general fracture classes, creep fracture modes, fracture mechanism maps and finally a glance of creep-fatigue damage interaction. Chapter 5 discusses hot corrosion, materials to combat corrosion and a discussion about superalloys. This book covers all topics for High Temperature Materials in B.E. Aeronautical Engineering and M.E. in Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Science.
