"Addressing the growing interest in high-temperature technologies, this book covers technology related to energy, space, aerospace, electronics, metallurgy, and other areas. While some applications involve the use of materials at high temperatures, others require materials processed at high temperatures for use at room temperature. Reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of the subject of high-temperature materials and mechanisms, the chapters bring as broad a perspective to the field as possible and are authored by leading experts in the specific subject. The book addresses the various related science and engineering disciplines, including chemistry, material science, electrical and mechanical engineering, metallurgy, and physics"--provided by publisher
