The Thermophysical Properties of Metallic Liquids

This work, authored by the two leading experts in the field, forms an outstanding source of information on liquid metals creating an essential reference for any group involved with this important area. The authors are to be congratulated in assembling so much pertinent information, in a very readable form, from the fundamental aspects, including a comprehensive source of data, to the prediction of thermophysical properties - it is an outstanding achievement. * Derek Fray, FRS, University of Cambridge, *
The latest book on Thermophysical Properties of Metallic Liquids by Professor Iida and Professor Guthrie is an extremely important tool in enhancing our knowledge in the area of Materials Process Science. The book consists of two volumes, presenting the physics of thermophysical properties in the first and predictive models for estimating these properties in the second. Volume 1 takes the reader from the atomic level to macro region correlating structure with properties, providing a fundamental understanding. Volume 2 is a boon to the engineers in the choice of reliable data and models where needed. Authored by two authorities in this area, these volumes would occupy a central position in my book shelf. The book should be available in all the libraries and be accessible to all researchers in the area of Materials Process Science, in academia as well as in industry. * Seshadri Seetharaman, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden17/06/15 *
The books cover static and dynamic thermophysical properties of metallic liquids. Atomic periodicity is a strong lead throughout the description, compilation, and modeling of different properties. The books are very useful for students, researchers, and engineers of materials science and engineering. They greatly help to understand the relations between atomic scale and macroscopic process phenomena. * Lauri Holappa, Aalto University, Finland *
