Superplasticity in Advanced Materials - ICSAM 2003
Superplastic forming (SPF) has come a long way from its relatively recent history of being of interest only to the aerospace and aeronautical industries, and has made rapid inroads into applications in the automotive, rail, architectural, sports, dental and entertainment sectors.

European Powder Diffraction EPDIC 8
X-ray powder diffraction is a long-established and invaluable technique which is widely applied to the characterization of crystalline materials. The method has traditionally been used for phase identification, quantitative analysis and for the determination of structural imperfections. In recent years however, its use has been extended into exciting new areas such as the extraction of three-dimensional microstructural properties. -
Advanced Structural Materials
This book comprises the invited and contributed papers read at the Advanced Structural Materials symposium, held in Cancun (Mexico) as part of the Annual Congress of the Mexican Academy of Materials Science (August 26th to 29th, 2002). -
Advanced Materials Processing II
This book presents the proceedings of the second International Conference on Advanced Materials Processing (ICAMP 2002). The papers read during the conference are included here in full-length form. They comprise 2 keynote addresses, 9 invited papers and over 130 oral presentations, by delegates from more than 20 countries. -
THERMEC'2003
This 5-volume set comprises the Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Processing and Manufacturing of Advanced Materials, "THERMEC2003", held from July 7-11, 2003 at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Leganes, Spain, under the co-sponsorship of The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS), USA. -
Materials Science, Testing and Informatics I
This 3rd Conference on Materials Science, Testing and Informatics provided an invaluable forum for discussions on Functional Materials and Technologies for the New Millennium. -
Textures of Materials - ICOTOM 13
Texture is a fundamental material characteristic which results from the microstructural evolution that takes place during various processes, including the thermomechanical deformation of materials. Therefore, texture-related phenomena will continue to be of great importance, because of their scientific interest as well as their effect upon industrial applications, in the 21st century. -
Shape Memory Materials and their Applications
This volume contains the proceedings of the International Conference on Shape Memory and Superelastic Technologies and Shape Memory Materials (SMST-SMM 2001) which was held in Kunming, China, on the 2-6 September, 2001. This built on the SMST and SMM international conference series; thus making the present conference more international, and fostering a lively cross-fertilization which could only promote developments in both materials themselves and in their applications. The proceedings comprise 131 papers which cover all aspects of shape memory materials (SMM), and the application of shape memory and superelastic technologies (SMST). The main topics covered are: -
Silicon Carbide and Related Materials 2001
Wide-bandgap semiconductors such as silicon carbide (SiC) and group-III Nitrides have attracted increasing attention as favored materials short-listed for use in new electronic devices; especially those destined for high-power, high-frequency and/or high-temperature applications, as well as short-wavelength light-emitters. This two-volume set contains >illustrated transcripts of papers presented at the International Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials 2001 (ICSCRM2001), held in the Fall of 2001 at Tsukuba, Japan. This timely conference was held in the very first year of the 21st century; an era in which SiC devices are going to find a real market. More than 500 contributors; both academic scientists and device engineers, from 20 countries, discussed and exchanged ideas extensively during the five days of the conference. -
Nitrides and Oxynitrides 2
This volume is dedicated to the ever-expanding fields of application of nitrides in ceramics, metals, glasses, composites, coatings, sensors, catalysts and electronic thin films. The papers cover all branches of materials science and engineering which concern the role of nitrogen in improving and modifying the properties of materials; particularly those destined for novel applications. All of the papers have been peer-reviewed prior to publication, so that this book will make a very significant contribution to assessing the current state-of-the-art concerning Nitrides and Oxynitrides.
