Covers the correlation among hard materials microstructure, properties, and behavior during application
Describes microstructure characterization techniques for hard and superhard materials
Examines appropriate mechanical testing methods for hard and superhard materials
Details how different microstructures may respond differently to different chemical, thermal, and mechanical environments
This book discusses microstructure-property correlations and explores key microstructure features and how they affect the properties of a material. The authors discuss the effect of manufacturing and processing routes on microstructure and properties. They identify appropriate microstructure and mechanical characterization techniques essential for developing accurate microstructure-property relationships. The techniques include high resolution imaging methods and properties measurements such as hardness, strength, elastic modulus, and fracture toughness. Current and future trends in hard and superhard material design are revealed by the authors, including nanostructured materials, biomimicry, and novel manufacturing technologies.
