Fredriksson H., Akerlind U. Solidification and Crystallization Processing in Metals and Alloys

John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2012. — 822 p.The aim of the present book is to analyze the solidification and crystallization processes from a general point of view and in accordance with generally accepted results and experimental evidence of modern research in the field. Hence, the book does not treat applications on casting other than as occasional examples. The book may be useful and suitable as a text book on courses at the Master and PhD level. The mathematical level is not discouragingly high. "Solidification and Crystallization Processing in Metals and Alloys" contains many solved examples in the text and exercises for students at the end of each chapter. Answers to all the exercises are given at the end of the book.Thermodynamic Concepts and Relationships
