Description and Table of Contents
Description
The manufacture of high quality metallic materials requires a detailed knowledge of the theory of liquid metals. In particular, transport phenomena and their phenomenological constants are of critical importance to the understanding, design, and quantification of liquid metal processing operations. This book provides the first comprehensive critical survey of those microstructural characteristics of liquid metals which determine their macroscopic properties of viscosity, surface tension, density, heat capacity, thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity, diffusion and velocity of sound transmission. The experimental techniques used to obtain these data are also reviewed. The result is a set of correlations and reference data which enable the reader to understand the basic phenomena underlying the properties of liquid metals. As such, the book will be of interest to metallurgists and materials engineers working in this area, as well as postgraduates and researchers in metallurgy and materials science, departments interested in liquid metal transport phenomena, chemical engineers, physical chemists and industrial researchers involved in liquid metal processing.
