Fundamentals Handbook of Material Science

This handbook also helpful for understanding material characteristics especially about metals. The handbook explains about the structures of metals and the last chapter is about characteristics desired when selecting material for use. The Material Science handbook consists of five modules that are contained in two volumes. The following is a brief description of the information presented in each module of the handbook.

Volume 1 of 2
Module 1 - Structure of Metals

Explains the basic structure of metals and how those structures are effected by various processes. The module contains information on the various imperfections and defects that the metal may sustain and how they affect the metal.

Module 2 - Properties of Metals

Contains information on the properties considered when selecting material for a nuclear facility. Each of the properties contains a discussion on how the property is effected and the metal's application.

Volume 2 of 2
Module 3 - Thermal Shock

Contains material relating to thermal stress and thermal shock effects on a system. Explains how thermal stress and shock combined with pressure can cause major damage to components.

Module 4 - Brittle Fracture

Contains material on ductile and brittle fracture. These two fractures are the most common in nuclear facilities. Explains how ductile and brittle fracture are effected by the minimum pressurization and temperature curves. Explains the reason why heatup and cooldown rate limits are used when heating up or cooling down the reactor system.

Module 5 - Plant Materials

Contains information on the commonly used materials and the characteristics desired when selecting material for use.
