INTERFACIAL PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY OF HIGH TEMPERATURE MELTS (HB 2020) HardCover

This English translation of a renowned Japanese book explores interfacial physicochemistry in materials science, particularly in the context of iron- and steelmaking processes. Interfacial Physical Chemistry of High-Temperature Melts bridges the gap between fundamental principles and practical applications in physicochemistry. The book starts with an introduction to the basics of interfacial physical chemistry, including surface tension, and presents key equations to help readers grasp the phenomenon in depth. It then delves into the interfacial properties of high-temperature melts, with a special focus on the Marangoni effect, and discusses its applications in materials processing at high temperatures, incorporating recent research by the author and colleagues. This book is designed for researchers, graduate students, and professionals involved in materials processing. Additionally, video clips of in-situ observations, including experiments conducted under microgravity conditions and x-ray observations, are available for download on the publisher's website to further enhance understanding.
