Long Term Stability of High Temperature Materials

The proceedings of this symposium from the 1999 TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition examine the effects of long-term thermal exposure and long-term service conditions on the microstructure and properties of high-temperature structural materials. A significant number of paper address nickel-based superalloys, elevated-temperature stability of intermetallic alloys, refractory metal alloys, composites, and titanium alloys. Also included are discussions on determining the degree and mechanism of property degradation, correlating laboratory exposure with actual service life, and analyzing properties and methods of component/property refurbishment.K.
