Handbook of Non-Ferrous Metal Powders

Handbook of Non-Ferrous Metal Powders: Technologies and Applications, Second Edition, provides information on the manufacture and use of powders of non-ferrous metals that has taken place for many years in the area previously known as Soviet Russia. It presents the huge amount of knowledge and experience that has built up over the last fifty years. Originally published in Russia by several prominent scientists, researchers and engineers, this presents an update to the first book that includes sections on classification, properties, treatment methods and production. This updated edition contains new content on the powders, along with newer methods of 3D printing.

Oleg Domianovich Neikov holds a doctorate in material science at the Institute for Problems in Materials Science of National Academy of Science of Ukraine (IPMS), Kiev, Ukraine. Since 1970, he has been worked at the IPMS where he was promoted from research assistant to the head of the department of metallic powder synthesis and processing. During 40 years, Neikov was a member of the editorial boards of Powder Metallurgy and Metal Ceramics Journal. Dr. Neikov is author of more than 350 scientific publications, more than 40 patented investigations, and 8 monographs, including 'Air suction and dedusting in production of powders. Moscow (Russia): Metallurgia; 1981, Handbook of non-ferrous metal powders. Moscow: Metallurgia; 1997 [in Russian], Handbook of non-ferrous metal powders. 1st ed. Elsevier; 2009. His professional main field is the powder metallurgy of reactive metals (powder obtaining and processing; phiysics of flammability and explosion of metal powders); the current research interests are the rapid solidification processes, melt atomization and surface chemistry and physics.
