  • Aluminium Alloys 2002
    This 3-volume set comprises the proceedings of the Eighth International Conference on Aluminium Alloys: Their Physical and Mechanical Properties. The papers present the latest viewpoints of the world's leading aluminium experts concerning the basic understanding, and application, of aluminium alloys. The proceedings cover a wide range of related topics and represent the views of both academia and industry.
  • Metastable, Mechanically Alloyed and Nanocrystalline Materials 2001
    Metastable and Nanocrystalline Materials are currently among the hottest research topics in materials science.
  • European Powder Diffraction EPDIC 7
    X-ray powder diffraction is a non-destructive technique widely applied for the characterisation of crystalline materials. The method has been traditionally used for phase identification, quantitative analysis and the determination of structure imperfections. In recent years, applications have been extended to new areas, such as the determination of crystal structures and the extraction of three-dimensional microstructural properties.
  • High Temperature Corrosion and Protection of Materials 5
    The degradation of materials and coatings in aggressive environments continues to be of great relevance to a wide range of industrial applications. The topic is of vital economic concern to the transportation, energy generation, and chemical processing industries in the developing, as well as the developed, nations of the world. The dual thrusts of conservation of resources and protection of the environment here strongly influence the tone of the technical submissions and thus again reflect the world-wide concern.
  • Positron Annihilation - ICPA-12
    When it comes to studying the structures and defects of materials, there is presently no technique that is superior to positron annihilation. The increasing demands for higher accuracy and reliability provide a constant stimulus to the field, and the present book relates the newest and most important scientific discoveries made in the field of positron annihilation.
  • Metastable, Mechanically Alloyed and Nanocrystalline Materials 2000
    Metastable, mechanically alloyed and nanocrystalline materials belong to a group of materials having very promising characteristics. In the present book,major new advances are reported in the field of bulk metallic glasses and bulk nanocrystalline materials; as prepared using devitrification or mechanical alloying and compaction. Other important issues include the understanding of processing kinetics leading to applications in various fields; in particular, the mechanical alloying of steels and the exploitation of the magnetic properties of mechanically alloyed materials.
  • Superplasticity in Advanced Materials - ICSAM-2000
    From once being of interest only to the aerospace and aeronautical ndustries, superplastic forming (SPF) has recently made inroads into the automotive, rail, architectural, sports, dental and entertainment sectors. However, due to a number of problematic technological issues ranging from die-material selection, die design, surface finish (e.g. alpha casing), differential thinning, temperature-pressure-time cycle determination and overall economy, the application of superplasticity has reached nowhere near its full potential.
  • Magnesium Alloys 2000
    Magnesium alloys are among the most promising materials in various high-tech applications. This millennium volume on advanced magnesium alloys centers on the following five topics: (1) New magnesium alloy design with microstructure control, (2) Non-traditional surface treatment, (3) Advanced smelting and casting technologies to enhance recyclability, (4) Optimum design for space structures and systems, and (5) High-performance magnesium alloy design and processing.
  • Aluminium Alloys - Their Physical and Mechanical Properties
    This 3-volume set presents the proceedings of the seventh International Conferences on Aluminum Alloys: Their Physical and Mechanical Properties. The papers are concerned with the current views of the world’s aluminum experts on the basic understanding and application of aluminum alloys. The proceedings cover a wide range of related topics and present the views from both academia and industry.
  • Experimental Mechanics in Nano and Biotechnology
    The main focus of this book is the rapidly expanding new field of experimental mechanics, as applied to nano and biotechnology, which is enthusiastically responding to the advances in these technologies and to the increasing need for precise measurements of novel materials and biological tissues. For instance, whereas optical techniques had previously been preferred, particularly in the field of bio-engineering, other mature methods are now being exploited in tandem with the growth in micro- and nano-manufacturing.
