Nanomaterials by Severe Plastic Deformation
Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) has proved to be an attractive tool for obtaining ultrafine-grained and nanocrystalline materials in bulk form; free of defects such as pores and impurities. -
Microalloying for New Steel Processes and Applications
The steel industry continues to remain a highly dynamic sector that must repeatedly face new challenges. During recent years, key factors have been the consolidation of new technologies, the marketing of new steel grades and the development of new products. Innovation, cost-reduction and environmental conservation are challenges that all of the players in the steel world - i.e. industry, research and academia - have to confront every day. Microalloying is one of the principal actors in this struggle. -
Textures of Materials - ICOTOM 14
To the materials science community, Texture is an important property which describes the relative orientations of the various material elements which constitute the microstructure. These elements are usually the crystalline grains; each with a different orientation of its crystal lattice. However, morphological textures, such as the arrangement of fibers in a composite material, also have to be considered. In rare cases, the texture is random; with all possible orientations being equally represented in the material. But, usually, processing of the material has caused the texture to become non-random; with a consequent anisotropy of the material properties. Thus, not only metallurgists and materials scientists take an interest in textures, but also physicists, mathematicians, geologists, mechanical engineers and others. -
Residual Stresses VII, ICRS7
The field of Residual Stresses is surprisingly large, and also highly interdisciplinary in nature, both with regard to its applications and to its scientific and technological fundamentals. -
PRICM-5
This indispensable work is the fifth in a series of international conferences devoted to advanced materials and processing. The conferences, which are held every three years, are jointly sponsored by the Chinese Society for Metals (CSM), the Japan Institute of Metals (JIM), the Korean Institute of Metals and Materials (KIM), and the Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (TMS), and organized by them in rotation. The purpose of this international conference, PRICM, is to provide a forum for the exchange of technical and scientific information, which is always of great benefit to researchers, manufacuturers and end-users. -
Recrystallization and Grain Growth
Recrystallization and grain growth, together with phase transformations such as precipitation, are the fundamental processes of microstructural evolution which take place during the thermomechanical processing of engineering materials. They are of major scientific interest and are of great importance in a wide range of industrial applications. -
High Temperature Corrosion and Protection of Materials 6
The major concern of this book is high-temperature corrosion; a form of surface disintegration that leads to high running costs, as well as to environmental and/or security problems. -
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.
