Author Description

<p><i>Metallic Glasses and Their Oxidation</i> provides a comprehensive review of the structures, properties, preparations, processing and applications of metallic glasses. Special attention is paid to the oxidation behaviors and related mechanisms of metallic glasses that occur during their preparation, processing and application. The book's authors introduce basic knowledge of metallic glasses, including their structures, properties, processing techniques and applications. Then, the theories and techniques commonly used in oxidation investigation are highlighted, including thermal oxidation, native oxidation, stressed oxidation, powder oxidation and oxidation simulation.</p> <p>The book closes with the influence of oxidation on the structures and performances of metallic glasses, proposes measures to control oxidation, and discusses how to take advantage of oxidation to reinforce materials or create new materials.</p> <br><br><ul> <li>Introduces the latest knowledge on the structures, properties, preparation, processing and application of metallic glasses</li> <li>Reviews the fundamental concepts surrounding metal oxidation, including techniques, devices and methods frequently used in oxidation research</li> <li>Discusses measures to control oxidation and the possibilities of using oxidation to reinforce metallic glasses or create new types of materials</li></ul>
