The second edition of this textbook, popular amongst students and
faculty alike, investigates the various causes of thermodynamic
instability in metallic microstructures. Materials theoretically
well designed for a particular application may prove inefficient or
even useless unless stable under normal working conditions. The
authors examine current experimental and theoretical understanding
of the kinetics behind structural change in metals. The entire text
has been updated in this new edition, and a completely new chapter
on highly metastable alloys has been added. The degree to which
kinetic stability of the material outweighs its thermodynamic
instability is very important, and dictates the useful working life
of the material. If the structure is initially produced to an
optimum, such changes will degrade the properties of the material.
This comprehensive and well-illustrated text, accompanied by ample
references, will allow final year undergraduates, graduate students
and research workers to investigate in detail the stability of
microstructure in metallic systems.
