Light Metals

• Defects and Diffusion in Metals
  This work, like others in the series (Defects and Diffusion inSemiconductors and Defects and Diffusion in Ceramics), continues a 30-year program which has the aim of succinctly summarizing progress in the fields of diffusion and defect research.
• Heat Treatment of Materials
  The 3rd Asian Conference on the Heat Treatment of Materials (AHTM’05) provided a forum within which engineers, scientists, researchers and production managers could review and discuss recent progress and emerging topics in the fields of Advanced Heat Treatment and Surface Engineering Technology. General topics, and various R&D efforts related to heat treatment and surface engineering, were also covered at the Conference.
• Semi-Solid Processing of Alloys and Composites
  This volume is dedicated to the science and technology of the semi-solid processing of metals.
• High Pressure Technology of Nanomaterials
  The aim of the celebrated High Pressure School (HPS) is to provide a platform where both young and experienced researchers can meet and exchange their experiences in high-pressure research techniques.
• Science and Technology Hybrid Materials
  Advances in the welfare of humans tends to be directly related to advances in the science and technology of advanced materials. Hybrid materials make up just one such class of materials, and they are unique in the sense that they exhibit properties that cannot be achieved by using conventional materials design and - at the same time - cannot be predicted by using conventional extrapolations: such as a simple weighted average of the constituents’ properties.
• Metal Matrix Composites
  Fundamental and applied research efforts to develop, characterize, and design structures with high temperature composite materials such as metal matrix composites (MMCs) are underway across the continents. New processing methods, evaluation of critical material properties, constitutive modeling, performance prediction are important needs which are essential for effective utilization and application of these materials.
• Bulk and Graded Nanometals
  In recent years, bulk and graded nanometals have attracted the growing interest of materials scientists. Nanometals can be obtained by using various methods: gas condensation or ball-milling with subsequent consolidation, thermal spray techniques, annealing of thin amorphous ribbons and severe plastic deformation. The plastic deformation methods include severe torsional straining under high pressures, equal channel angular pressing, cyclic extrusion compression - and others.
• Effect of Iron and Silicon in Aluminium and its Alloys
  Iron and silicon are the main impurites in aluminium: they are always present in alloys made from commercially pure base materials. Both impurities form various intermetallic compounds. These particles can cause basic changes in the macroscopic properties of the aluminium alloys and are thus of special technological interest.
• Metastable, Mechanically Alloyed and Nanocrystalline Materials 2003
  This volume comprises the proceedings of the 10th International Symposium on Metastable, Mechanically Alloyed and Nanocrystalline Materials, 2003. ISMANAM-2003 was held in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, from the 24th to the 28th August 2003.
• Metastable, Mechanically Alloyed and Nanocrystalline Materials 2002
  This book comprises the proceedings of the 9th International Symposium on Metastable, Mechanically Alloyed and Nanocrystalline Materials (ISMANAM), which was held in Seoul, South Korea, from the 8th to the 12th September 2002. The 127 selected papers, from over 28 countries, which are presented here cover recent scientific discoveries in fundamental research as well as novel engineering applications in the fields of metastable and nanocrystalline materials. Many important issues concerning bulk metallic glasses, bulk nanocrystalline materials, mechanical alloying and mechanochemistry are discussed.
