Metallurgy and Design of Alloys with Hierarchical Microstructures, Second Edition covers the fundamentals of processing-microstructure-property relationships and how multiple properties are balanced and optimized in materials with hierarchical microstructures widely used in critical applications. The discussion is based principally on metallic materials used in aircraft structures, though due to sufficiently diverse microstructures, the underlying principles can be easily applied to other materials systems. The book integrates aspects of computational materials science, physical metallurgy, alloy design, process design, and structure-properties relationship, in a manner not done before. It fills a knowledge gap in the interrelationships of multiple microstructural and deformation mechanisms. By applying the concepts and tools of designing microstructures for achieving combinations of engineering properties, such as strength, corrosion resistance, durability and damage tolerance in multi-component materials used for critical structural applications, this book brings new coverage of metallurgy fundaments, new worked examples and applications, new developments in the field, new problems with an emphasis on calculations, and much more.

Providing a comprehensive and invaluable overview of the basics of crystallographic textures and their industrial applications, this book covers a broad range of both structural and functional materials. It introduces the existing methods of representation in an accessible manner and presents a thorough overview of existing knowledge on texture of metallic materials. Texture analysis has widespread use in many industries, and provides crucial input towards the development of new materials and products. There has been rapid growth in the science and art of texture analysis in the last few decades. Other topics addressed within this book include recent research on texture in thin films and non-metals, and the dependence of material properties on texture, and texture control in some engineering materials. This book constitutes an invaluable reference text for researchers and professionals working on texture analysis in metallurgy, materials science and engineering, physics and geology. By using content selectively, it is also highly accessible to undergraduate students.
