Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Abstract

Conditions for the appearance of thermodynamically unstable states and changes in the stored energy, in the effective characteristic temperature, and in the moduli of uniform compression upon energy excitation of condensed phase are considered. Topics of the energy threshold of metastability and local energy excitation upon formation of a chemical bond, diffusion activation energy, pressure of the vapor of energy-excited substance, and energy excitation and formation of metastable phases are discussed.
