Metal–Crucible Interactions

Provides an extensive summary on the compatibility of hundreds of metal–container combinations, assembles information about all known significant interactions, and evaluates how to manage them Explains the underlying reasons for the occurrence and extent of incompatibility between metals and containment and the method and path to their possible solution Describes analytical experimental techniques to quantify compatibility/incompatibility Covers issues and resolution in solid–solid, solid–liquid, solid–gas and solid–liquid–gas processes determining compatibility Discusses all the metals and the important alloys as well as compounds and special compositions that are prone to degradation due to compatibility issues Features information on static and flow systems including molten metal/alloy circulation loops
