Impurities in Engineering Materials - Impact, Reliability and Control

The need for clean materials the sources of trace impurities in metals preparation of clean superalloys high purity, low residual and clean steels chemical analysis of trace impurities in metals grain-boundary segregation of impurities in iron and steels and effects on steel properties the effect of grain-boundary segregation on intergranular failures trace element effects on high-temperature fracture solid solution hardening by impurities.
