There is an interesting incident behind the title of this book 'Kavyalaya' which I would like to share with you all. When I was approached about publishing the book and was asked what name I would like to give to my book, I had no idea in my mind. I asked 'Poetic Souls Publications' for some time so that I could consider it. But even after three days no title was coming in my mind.Although I have not included this poem in this book, the poem and the title keep reminding me of the time when I wrote the first poem. In the last several years, I kept on carving my inner feelings, untold things on the pages through poetry. Never thought that someday my book would also be published. Whatever poems the readers will find in this book, all those poems will mention one or the other episode of my life. Which has influenced me and my thoughts in one way or the other.

Fills a Prominent Gap in a Significant Area of IntermetallicsPresenting a comprehensive overview of structural intermetallics (the most important class of intermetallics), Structural Intermetallics and Intermetallic Matrix Composites is a reference written with the beginning student as well as the practicing professional in mind. Utilizing the authorΓÇÖs more than two decades of experience working on silicides and teaching a course on advanced materials, this text addresses the fundamental aspects related to structure, mechanical behavior, and the oxidation resistance of selected intermetallics and their composites. In addition to covering the structure and properties of selected intermetallics, the text places special emphasis on composite intermetallics and specifically focuses on select aluminides and silicides. It reviews existing literature on select structural silicides and aluminides, considers possible applications on the basis of the attractive properties of aluminides and silicides, and also factors in future directions of research. Fundamental aspects include thermodynamic principles, phase diagrams and crystal structures, processing methods, deformation and fracture mechanisms of ordered intermetallics, and oxidation behavior with mechanisms for protection against environmental degradation. Comprising nine chapters, this text:Explores the state-of-the-art accomplishments in this areaConsiders further research related to the topicExamines further innovations applying these materialsAn up-to-date introduction to structural intermetallics, Structural Intermetallics and Intermetallic Matrix Composites helps readers grasp the complexities of the structure of intermetallics and their effect on various physical and mechanical properties. It also highlights the recent state of development in the field.

This monograph is based on the fundamental aspects as well as the results of decades of research related to structure, processing, mechanical properties, and resistance to environmental degradation of a selected group of silicides and aluminides. Providing a critical literature review along with highlighted developments, the text covers methods of processing, crystal structures and slip systems, mechanical behavior, oxidation behavior, and applications. It focuses on the effect of processing, crystal structure, alloying elements, grain size and reinforcements, as well as strategies for achieving desirable properties.
