Oxide Dispersion Strengthened Refractory Alloys

Refractory metals such as W, Mo, Ta, Nb, and Re have immense potential for application in plasma-facing materials in nuclear reactors, defense materials, aviation counterweights, heating elements in furnaces, and so forth. This book presents a wide perspective of oxide dispersion strengthened refractory alloys fabrication and critical properties. It provides a comprehensive road map for an appropriate basis for alloy design, process parameter selection, fabrication route, and deformation behavior for oxide dispersion strengthened refractory alloys. It further covers achievement of application-oriented properties and critical process-regulating parameters for development of sustainable materials.

• Covers development of oxide dispersion strengthened sustainable material to withstand high-temperature environments
• Describes stimulating application-oriented final mechanical properties
• Illustrates fabrication of alloys through effective route to achieve desired properties
• Presents in-depth explanation of deformation behavior at ambient and high temperatures
• Explores critical applications of the alloys in nuclear reactors, defense, and aviation sectors

Oxide Dispersion Strengthened Refractory Alloys will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in high-temperature materials, mechanics, metallurgy, powder metallurgy, and physical metallurgy.
