Metallurgy and Design of Alloys with Hierarchical Microstructures, Second Edition provides an in-depth exploration of the intricate connections between processing, microstructure, and material properties. Focusing on metallic materials, particularly those used in aircraft structures, the book lays the groundwork for understanding how hierarchical microstructures influence performance. It bridges the gap between computational materials science, physical metallurgy, and alloy design. By balancing multiple engineering properties such as strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, this resource equips readers with the tools to optimize materials for critical structural applications.The book stands out by offering new coverage of fundamental metallurgy concepts, worked examples, and applications. It introduces the latest developments in the field and integrates structure-property relationships in a manner not previously achieved. With a focus on solving practical problems through calculations and microstructural design, it empowers engineers and scientists to address real-world challenges. Additionally, its emphasis on multi-component materials broadens its applicability across material systems, ensuring relevance beyond aerospace applications.

Providing a comprehensive and invaluable overview of the basics of crystallographic textures and their industrial applications, this book covers a broad range of both structural and functional materials. It introduces the existing methods of representation in an accessible manner and presents a thorough overview of existing knowledge on texture of metallic materials.

Texture analysis has widespread use in many industries, and provides crucial input towards the development of new materials and products. There has been rapid growth in the science and art of  texture analysis in the last few decades. Other topics addressed within this book include recent research on texture in thin films and non-metals, and the dependence of material properties on texture, and texture control in some engineering materials.

This book constitutes an invaluable reference text for researchers and professionals working on texture analysis in metallurgy, materials science and engineering, physics and geology. By using content selectively, it is also highly accessible to undergraduate students.

Microstructure and Texture in Steels and Other Materials comprises a collection of articles pertaining to experimental and theoretical aspects of the evolution of crystallographic texture and microstructure during processing of steels and some other materials.

Among the topics covered is the processing-microstructure-texture-property relationship in various kinds of steels, including the latest grade. Special emphasis has been given to introduce recent advances in the characterization of texture and microstructure, as well as modeling. The papers included are written by well-known experts from academia and industrial R and D, which will provide the reader with state-of-the-art, in-depth knowledge of the subject.

With these attributes, Microstructure and Texture in Steels and Other Materials is expected to serve the cause of creating awareness of current developments in microstructural science and materials engineering among academic and R and D personnel working in the field.

This book presents the fundamentals of texture and microtexture with the latest developments in the field and relates the same for different materials and processes. Crystallographic phase and orientation define the anisotropy of crystalline materials. In polycrystalline materials, the preferred crystallographic orientation of grain distributions, also known as (crystallographic) texture, controls the properties of materials. The evaluation of texture has been traditionally carried out by X-ray diffraction and neutron diffraction. In recent times, microtexture-based techniques have been widely used not only to examine the crystallographic texture but also to investigate the micro-mechanisms controlling the development of texture and microstructure. It has, therefore, become almost mandatory to re-visit the physical phenomenon associated with materials from the viewpoint of microtexture. The individual chapters have been written by the renowned scientists working in the respective domain. The book can be a valuable reference for researchers and professionals interested in fundamentals of texture and microtexture and allied fields.
