Innovative Lightweight and High-Strength Alloys: Multiscale Integrated Processing, Experimental, and Modeling Techniques provides multiscale processing, experimental, and modeling techniques, overviews and perspectives, which highlight current roadblocks to the optimal design of new alloys, and provides viable solutions. Critical microstructural, chemical and mechanical aspects are considered with techniques for significantly improving mechanical properties. Case studies, applications and hands-on techniques that can be put into immediate practice are included throughout. Sections cover processing techniques for various alloys, including aluminum, titanium, martensitic, austenitic, and others. Additive manufacturing of alloys is also covered, along with updates on mechanical quasi-static, chemically-based, and dynamic experimentatal approaches.
The book concludes with a modeling section that features several chapters covering multiscale, microstructural, combinatorial computational, and machine learning modeling techniques. It is a key resource for academic researchers, materials researchers, mechanical engineering researchers, and professional engineers in mechanics, materials science, and chemistry.
