Abstract

This edition is generalization and systematization of modern views on scientific principles and fundamentals of inorganic material science, as well as concentrated exposition of facts about inorganic materials, their properties, production, technologies and fields of application. Author’s collective includes leading material scientists, physicists, physical chemists, mechanical scientists, which allowed covering all the fundamental and applied aspects of modern material science. The whole information block is divided into two volumes.

            The first volume presents encyclopedic code of modern scientific views on physicochemical nature of solids, structure forming processes, materials behavior under the influence of external physical fields and chemical factors, as well as on inorganic materials analysis, research and diagnostics methods.  

            The second volume includes issues dedicated to the separate groups of materials and main production. This volume systematizes the main facts on alloys based on ferrous, non-ferrous, rare-earth, refractory, precious, radioactive metals, alkali elements; materials based on metallic compounds (borides, carbides, nitrides, silicides of transition materials and intermetallic compounds); materials based on non-metallic elements and their oxide and non-oxide compounds; glass and  pyroceramics. Nanostructure and composite materials are paid special attention. This volume systematizes the facts on main inorganic materials production technologies, including metallurgical, CVD, powder, fibrous, hydrothermal, electrochemical, electrothermal, electron-beam, plasma and laser technologies, as well as materials joint technologies (welding and brazing) and high pressure technologies.

            Fundamental approach to inorganic material science, stated systematically on high scientific level allows recommend this edition for scientists, engineers, post-graduates and students specialized in  modern materials science.
