Publisher's Synopsis
The 19 papers in this volume were presented at the symposium of the same title held at Materials Week '94 in Rosemont, Illinois, USA held on October 2-6, 1994. A recent understanding of the roles of phase transformations and microstructures in multi-phase intermetallic alloys in improving mechanical properties is presented.;Both experimental and theoretical aspects that highlight, develop and utilize approaches to understand and improve strength, ductility and toughness responses are discussed.;Coverage includes: first-principles approaches to materials stability; mechanical and damping properties of Fe-Al alloys containing Mn; growth kinetics and morphology of Bainite in Noble metal-based alloys; effect of deformation and recrystallization on microstructure and interfaces in XD Al-TiC metal matrix composites.
