Description
The practical interest in hafnium expressed by nuclear engineers and the recently increased number of scientific publications on it make a systematic work of collected data very important and timely. Along with results already published, this book includes original data obtained by the authors on hafnium radiation and corrosion resistance. Attention was paid to the main features of hafnium production as well as the subsequent fabrication technologies, since the performance of hafnium components strongly depends on the properties of the original materials.
