| Abstract: | The need to develop materials that can perform well in severe operating environments is a major challenge for materials scientists, and it requires a fundamental understanding of material response under extreme conditions of heat flux, stresses, strain rates, and corrosive environments. Learn about the latest advances in materials for extreme environments in the first part of this two-part special issue of Materials Performance and Characterization. Sixteen peer-reviewed papers, including three review papers, covers such topics as: advanced materials and manufacturing technologies for gas turbines; creep-fatigue; fibers for high temperature application; coatings for functional applications; fire resistant steels; welding; tribological properties of superalloys. |
