Synopsis

Thermal Stability and Oxidation Kinetics of MAX Phases provides techniques for improving the thermal stability of MAX phases, enabling their enhanced performance in extreme environments. The book provides a general overview of the physical and mechanical properties of MAX phases, including techniques for their synthesis and characterization. Oxidation characteristics, thermal stability, and decomposition kinetics are then covered for many individual MAX phases, including titanium silicon carbide, titanium aluminum carbide, titanium aluminum nitride, chromium aluminum carbide, and many more. In addition, their mechanical behaviors in vacuum settings and argon gas environments, in particular, are covered at length, and the application of these materials in aerospace, nuclear, and other settings is also discussed.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Prof. Low gained his B.Eng. and Ph.D. degrees in Materials Engineering from Monash University prior to taking up lecturer positions first at Auckland University and then Curtin University. In 1986-1988, he conducted post-doctoral research with Prof. Y-W Mai on fracture and toughening micromechanics of epoxy systems at Sydney University. He was awarded a Visiting Professorship by the Japanese Ministry of Education to work with Prof. Nihari at Osaka University in 1995/1996. He is a Fellow of the Australian Ceramic Society and serves on the editorial boards of several materials-related journals. He is also the recipient of the prestigious 1996 Joint Australian Ceramic Society/Ceramic Society of Japan Ceramic Award for excellence in ceramics research. Prof. Low has authored or edited more than 10 books (4 of these with Elsevier) and is author of over 250 archival research papers. His research interests include polymer- and ceramic matrix composites, nanomaterials, toughening and failure micromechanics.
