Such advanced materials as structural ceramics and ceramic-matrix composites, metal-matrix composites, intermetallic compounds, and amorphous metals, are frequently intended for applications in which they are exposed to adverse chemical, thermal, and mechanical environments. A comprehensive account is presently given of critical considerations and state-of-the-art design and processing methodologies for coping with these environmental effects, which may induce hydrogen embrittlement, high-temperature corrosion, crack growth, stress-corrosion cracking, galvanic and aqueous corrosion, etc., in each major category of advanced material. 142 references.
