High Temperature

As per available reports about 100 journals, 162 conferences, 30 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to High Temperature and about 366282 articles are being published on the current trends in High Temperature. In terms of research annually; USA, India, Japan, Brazil and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to High Temperature are being carried out. As reported in “The Preparation of a Molybdenum Based High Temperature Refractory Alloy by Powder Processing Route” article by Chakraborty SP and Krishnamurthy N. Molybdenum-based TZC alloy having nominal composition of Mo–1.2 Ti–0.3 Zr–0.1 C (wt%) possesses several attractive features for high temperature structural applications. These include high melting point, high tensile and creep strength, high resistance to heat and corrosion, good thermal diffusivity and satisfactory welding properties. However, synthesis of TZC alloy with micro-alloying additions of Ti, Zr and C by conventional high vacuum melt-casting route is a challenging task to achieve homogeneous alloy composition in view of segregation of alloying components. Hence, in the present investigation, an alternative approach to prepare homogenous TZC alloy was adopted by a powder processing route, namely, mechanical alloying (MA) at room temperature. As, Mo is a major ingredient (~98.25%) in TZC alloy, hence, this component was prepared in the laboratory to satisfy the requirement for indigenous development of the alloy. Apart from pure elements used for the alloy preparation, carbon requirement of the alloy was fulfilled from toluene medium used during milling. MA powder that was obtained exhibited fine grained microstructure with nano sized grains available in the range of 10-20 nm having polyhedral shapes.

The Journal of Powder Metallurgy & Mining is an academic journal – hosted by OMICS International – a pioneer in open access publishing – and is listed among the top 10 journals in High Temperature. Each year research scientists have noticed a rise in the number of congresses being held in this field. The Journal of Powder Metallurgy & Mining provides a unique platform to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and latest research developments in the field of High Temperature, Powder Metallurgy & Mining, thus bridging the gap between researchers and young scientists.

OMICS International – a pioneer in organizing international conferences. The Journal of Powder Metallurgy & Mining is associated with our conference "4th International Conference and Exhibition on Materials Science & Engineering" September 14-16, 2015 Florida, USA with the respective theme “Materials Science: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Science & Technology”.
