Modern metallurgy is a fascinating field of research, full of discoveries, commercial opportunities and industrial utility. Encyclopedia of Materials: Metals and Alloys is a new, multidisciplinary reference work offering a comprehensive coverage of this exciting area, and consolidating research activities in all experimental and theoretical aspects of metallic materials, intermetallic compounds, alloys, blends and composites. Key focus is on those aspects of the science of metals concerned with their manufacturing, processing and fabrication, the relationship between the macro/micro/nanostructures and properties (mechanical, chemical, electrical, electrochemical, magnetic and optical), industrial application, surface modification and functionalization of metals - and, importantly, resource and supply chain issues, and life-cycle and sustainability practices.

This title provides users with a single and unique reference source, incorporating elements from many different disciplines. An invaluable addition to any reference library of engineers, chemists and physicists, both from industry and academia.


- Comprehensive and accessible - offers users a 'one stop' comprehensive resource, providing contemporary reviews of current metallurgy research, and an insight into the future direction of the field
- Clearly structured - meticulously organized, chapters are split into 13 sections on key topics and clearly cross-referenced to allow students, researchers, and professionals to find relevant information quickly and easily
- Multidisciplinary - chapters written by academics and practitioners from various fields and regions ensure that the knowledge within is easily understood by, and applicable to, a large audience
- Contemporary content - emphasis is given to clean energy, green transport, healthcare and next-generation manufacturing

Caballero, Francisca G.
Prof. Caballero is Research Professor at the Spanish National Centre for Metals Research and Vice-Rector for Postgraduate Studies and Research at Menendez Pelayo International University. She obtained her M.Sc. in Physics from the Complutense University of Madrid and joined CENIM-CSIC that same year, working on solid-solid phase transformation of steels. For this research she was awarded her Ph.D. degree, which was partially carried out at the Universities of Leeds and Cambridge in the UK. From 1997 to 2000, she worked as a research associate at Cambridge. She returned to CENIM in 2000 as a research associate and in 2003 she obtained a Ramón y Cajal fellowship to work on the design and development of advanced steels. She was appointed Tenured Scientist in 2005, Senior Scientist in 2009 and Research Professor in 2018. Additionally, in 2013-2014 she was Deputy Director of Science at the Spanish National Centre for Metals Research.
