Bulk Amorphous Alloys: Practical Characteristics and Applications (Materials Science Foundations)

The present book focuses on the practical characteristics and applications of bulk amorphous alloys. The topics covered include: mechanical properties, corrosioin resistance, soft magnetic properties, magnetostrictive properties, hard magnetic properties, viscous flow, micro-formability, consolidation behaviour, dispersion strengthened by ceramic particles, nanocrystallization effects and cold workability. A previous volume on bulk amorphous alloys (published as Materials Science Foundations Vol. 4, 1998) dealt with the preparation and fundamental characteristics of bulk amorphous alloys.
