Features: High-temperature structural materials are widely used in aviation, aerospace, energy, chemical engineering, machinery, metallurgy, and other fields as key materials for high-temperature load-bearing components in power systems—engines—used in aircraft, rockets, missiles, locomotives, ships, etc. They are a vital material foundation for modernization and the development of high technology. This book is divided into ten chapters, including an overview, lightweight high-temperature structural materials, advanced high-temperature alloys, intermetallic compounds, metal-based and compound-based composites, refractory metals and alloys, advanced ceramic matrix composites, advanced C/C composites, special high-temperature materials, structures and forming, high-temperature oxidation, corrosion and protection. It briefly introduces the composition, strengthening and toughening principles, preparation, properties, and applications of various materials, with a focus on new materials, new preparation technologies, new structures, application guidelines, and protection methods. The book is theory-driven and practical, easy to understand, richly illustrated, and covers novel, comprehensive, systematic, and complete content, making it a specialized monograph on high-temperature structural materials with relatively thorough material coverage. It collects the latest research findings and data, making it highly practical and serving as an important reference for power systems (engines) and material science professionals. It can be used as a reference for design, manufacturing, application, management, and teaching personnel in related fields and disciplines, as well as a professional textbook for undergraduate and graduate students.
