Duplex Stainless Steels (Iste Ser.)

Duplex Stainless Steels (DSSs) are chromium-nickel-molybdenum-iron alloys that are usually in proportions optimized for equalizing the volume fractions of austenite and ferrite. Due to their ferritic-austenitic microstructure, they possess a higher mechanical strength and a better corrosion resistance than standard austenitic steels. This type of steel is now increasing its application and market field due to its very good properties and relatively low cost. This book is a review of the most recent progress achieved in the last 10 years on microstructure, corrosion resistance and mechanical strength properties, as well as applications, due to the development of new grades. Special attention will be given to fatigue and fracture behavior and to proposed models to account for mechanical behavior. Each subject will be developed in chapters written by experts recognized around the international industrial and scientific communities. The use of duplex stainless steels has grown rapidly in the last 10 years, particularly in the oil and gas industry, chemical tankers, pulp and paper as well as the chemical industry. In all these examples, topics like welding, corrosion resistance and mechanical strength properties (mainly in the fatigue domain) are crucial. Therefore, the update of welding and corrosion properties and the introduction of topics like texture effects, fatigue and fracture strength properties, and mechanical behavior modeling give this book specific focus and character.

Duplex-Stahl: Ein Stahlporträt (essentials)

Die Welt des Stahls ist erstaunlich vielfältig und so komplex, dass sie in der Praxis nicht leicht zu überblicken ist. In Form von essentials zu Porträts von ausgewählten Stählen und Stahlgruppen soll dem Leser diese Welt des Stahls nähergebracht werden; kompakt, verständlich, informativ, strukturiert mit Beispielen aus der Praxis und geeignet zum Nachschlagen.Vor über 90 Jahren wurden als jüngste Gruppe von nichtrostenden Stählen die Duplex-Stähle entwickelt. Mit ihren besonderen mechanischen Eigenschaften bei sehr hoher Korrosionsbeständigkeit finden sie zunehmend für last- und korrosionsbeanspruchte Anforderungen Anwendung. Wissenswertes über diese Stähle fasst dieses essential zusammen.

Düngemittel — Energie- und Stoffstrombilanzen

Energie- und Stoffstrombilanzen bilden das Herzstück jeder Ökobilanz. Ökobilanzen wiederum gehören zu den wichtigsten Werkzeugen zur Beschreibung der Umweltverträglichkeit eines Produktes. Unerläßlich ist dabei eine ausführliche Darstellung der Vorgehensweise und die Dokumentation ausnahmslos aller Primärdaten, damit die Bilanzen nachvollziehbar und nachprüfbar sind. Am Beispiel der Düngemittel wird dies Punkt für Punkt akribisch genau durchgeführt und bis ins Detail mit Zahlen untermauert. Damit dient dieses Buch dem Ökobilanzierer nicht nur als Beispiel dafür, was bei der Erstellung von Energie- und Stoffstrombilanzen alles zu beachten ist. Er findet darüber hinaus für die im Kontext der Ökobilanz im Agrarbereich äußerst wichtigen Düngemittel eine in diesem Umfang bisher noch nicht dagewesene Datenfülle.

The Due Diligence in Maritime Transportation in the Technological Era (Springer Series on Naval Architecture, Marine Engineering, Shipbuilding and Shipping #5)

This book discusses the problem of sea carriers’ liability, with a particular focus on role of the technologies that have been employed to support maritime transport in recent decades. It examines the Hague Rules, providing an overview of the precedent standard of liability, its historical development up until its application, and its construction at the current time. To do so, it presents two exemplary studies from English and American case law, and analyzes the situations in which the courts have required the application of new technologies as part of the duties set in the current governing liability regime. Written in an easy-to-follow style, the book offers not only an unique overview of the applications of technologies in making ships both seaworthy and cargo-worthy, but also a practice-oriented guide to understanding and making decisions about sea carriers’ liability. It is intended for law practitioners as well as advanced graduate students and researchers in the field of maritime shipping, transport and insurance law
