In order to fulfill all the requirements under service conditions, modern alloys have to be based on very complex multi-component systems, where simplifying assumptions can no longer be made. The thermodynamic properties — which control driving forces, boundary conditions, and kinetic parameters — are complex functions of temperature and chemical composition. Computational approach has emerged and established itself as the most efficient way of designing and studying complex, modern alloys.
Additionally, the expense of conducting experiments in materials science or metallurgical engineering is often prohibitively high. In many cases, using the experimental route to solve complex metallurgical problems can be more time-consuming and costly for a particular company than they are worth. | | Category: | | Pagerank: | 4 | | Link Owner: | Dr. Alojz Kajinic | | Date Added: | November 05, 2006 03:36:37 PM | | Number Hits: | 0 |
