Features: This book is available for scientists and engineers engaged in alloy research and design, as well as graduate students and university teachers in related fields such as materials and physics. It elaborates on the computational methods for the electronic structure of heterogeneous interfaces in alloys, defines electronic structure parameters—phase structure factor and interfacial bonding factor—that characterize the properties of alloy phases and phase interfaces, discusses the relationship between phase structure factor, interfacial bonding factor, and mechanical properties as well as phase transformation toughening, dispersion strengthening, work hardening, surface modification, precipitation strengthening, phase transformation, and recrystallization. Finally, it elaborates on the methods of alloy design using phase structure factor and interfacial bonding factor.
