Beschreibung:
Addressing the growing interest in high-temperature technologies, this book covers technology related to energy, space, aerospace, electronics, and other areas. While some applications involve the use of materials at high temperatures, others require materials processed at high temperatures for use at room temperature. Reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of the subject, the chapters bring as broad a perspective to the field as possible. The book addresses the related science and engineering disciplines, including chemistry, material science, electrical and mechanical engineering, metallurgy, and physics.
