Ferrous materials can be classified into two main categories: pure iron and iron alloys. Pure iron, also known as wrought iron, is a relatively soft and ductile material that contains less than 0.1% ...

A multiferroic is a material that exhibits multiple primary ferroic parameters such as ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity, or ferroelasticity. It turns out the multiferroic Ni 45 Co 5 Mn 40 Sn 10 has a ...

Metalworkers and metallurgists have long appreciated the ability to tailor the performance characteristics of steel (an alloy of iron and carbon), including their strength, hardness, ductility and ...

Performance requirements on alloys are becoming more stringent for end users in industries such as aerospace, medical, power generation, oil and gas, specialty automotive, and trucks. These ...

THE fact that a second edition of this text-book has been called for is evidence that it has been found useful by analysts. War experience has led to an enlargement of the field of non-ferrous alloys, ...

A VERY necessary task has been undertaken by the British Non-Ferrous Metals Research Association in the compilation of this report of the authors' research into the large mass of published information ...
