Chapter 1. One can hardly overestimate the role of niobium in manufacturing various functional materials, as it is one of the main constituents of such important electro-technical materials as high-strength nanocomposites Cu-Nb and multifilamentary Nb₃Sn-based and NbTi superconductors. Besides, nowadays possibilities of obtaining bulk nanostructured materials by various techniques of severe plastic deformation (SPD) are comprehensively studied, and niobium, being a refractory, but on the other hand plastic enough metal, is an ideal object for such studies.

Superalloys form a class of the structural materials for high-temperature applications. Nickel superalloys are extensively used in the high-temperature components of gas turbines due to their excellent creep, fatigue, and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures. These materials are considered paramagnetic in the range of working temperatures. This book presents the features of the ternary phase diagrams Ni-Al-X (X = {Co, Fe, Nb, Ti, Cr}), effects of the alloying on the long-range order and mechanical properties of the Ni₃ Al-based alloys.
