Ebook: Grain boundaries in metals

Grain boundaries in metals: D. McLean: Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1957. 346 pp.It is the best book on the grain boundaries! Great for studying grain boundary segregation, migration of grain boundaries during deformation and intergranular brittleness. The book outlines the basic theory of the structure and properties of grain boundaries. It is defined the important role of the boundaries in the determination of the basic properties of metals at normal and enhanced temperatureContents:
