• Sommario/riassunto: Smithells is the only single volume work which provides data on all key aspects of metallic materials.Smithells has been in continuous publication for over 50 years. This 8th Edition represents a major revision.Four new chapters have been added for this edition. these focus on; * Non conventional and emerging materials - metallic foams, amorphous metals (including bulk metallic glasses), structural intermetallic compounds and micr/nano-scale materials. * Techniques for the modelling and simulation of metallic materials. * Supporting technologies for the processing
