Nickel Base Single Crystals Across Length Scales is addresses the most advanced knowledge in metallurgy and computational mechanics and how they are applied to superalloys used as bare materials or with a thermal barrier coating system. Joining both aspects, the book helps readers understand the mechanisms driving properties and their evolution from fundamental to application level. These guidelines are helpful for students and researchers who wish to understand issues and solutions, optimize materials, and model them in a cross-check analysis, from the atomistic to component scale. The book is useful for students and engineers as it explores processing, characterization and design.

• Provides an up-to-date overview on the field of superalloys
• Covers the relationship between microstructural evolution and mechanical behavior at high temperatures
• Discusses both basic and advanced modeling and characterization techniques
• Includes case studies that illustrate the application of techniques presented in the book
