Publisher Description

This concise survey describes the requirements on materials operating in high-temperature environments and the processes increasing temperature capability of metals, ceramics, and composites. The major part deals with the applicable materials and their specific properties. One chapter is devoted to coatings. The book is written for engineering and science students, researchers, and managers in industries.
