Aerospace presents an extremely challenging environment for structural materials, and the development of new materials and processes for component production is the subject of continuous research activity. It is in the nature of high-performance materials that the stages of material and component production cannot always be separated, since the very process of material production may also incorporate part or all of the component production itself. In this book, high-performance materials for aerospace are examined in terms of their production, structure and applications. The central interrelationships between the development of structure through the production route, and between structure and the properties exhibited in the final component are considered carefully. This book should be of interest to materials scientists and engineers in the aerospace industry; and researchers in advanced materials design in the aeronautical and related industries.
