Surfaces & Interfaces

• EMMA-2000
  Magnetic Materials and Their Applications are among the hot topics of high-tech materials research. With special emphasis on technological applications, the present volume focuses on the following R&D areas:
• 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.
• Residual Stress ECRS 5
  Materials, as utilized, experience the effect of residual, internal stresses, as these are the outcome of the material synthesis and/or engineering, and/or application in practice. Understanding and control of residual stresses is a prerequisite for successful application of materials in wide ranging areas as corresponding to, e.g., the microelectronic industry (thin films) and the automotive industry (crankshafts).
• Advances in Machining & Manufacturing Technology VIII
  This work presents its readers with the most recent advances in the fields of machining and advanced manufacturing technology. It will be of especial valuable to production and research engineers, research students and academics.
• Fracture of Materials: Moving Forwards
  The literature on fracture accumulated over the past few decades is abundant. It would be too overwhelmingly difficult to name every original contribution to the field by different individuals. Yet, a quick glance through even very limited part of the vast fracture literature in the past thirty or forty years or so, one is bound to come across one name - Yiu-Wing Mai, whose work covers fracture mechanics modeling on various toughening mechanisms, microstructure and property relations, processing and testing of polymers, ceramics, metals and their respective composites, and in recent years on nano- and bio- materials.
• Advances in Grinding and Abrasive Technology XIII
  This work is the result of a careful selection made from more than 300 extensively peer-reviewed papers treating recent advances in the field of abrasive technology.
• Lasers in Materials Science
  The use of laser science and technology in the development of materials has made significant progress due to the flexibility of control of the beam's interaction, with regard to wavelength, energy-density and interaction time, and the wide choice of interaction environments. It is difficult to think of any field of science where lasers have not left their mark in improving material properties and behaviour, or in widening material applications. Lasers have not been slow to find important uses in fields ranging from defence to medical science. Many of these aspects are discussed in this volume, by experts in the relevant field.
• Measurement Technology and Intelligent Instruments VI
  The requirements of high precision and of high-quality components and devices in meeting the needs of modern industry and society in disciplines such as semiconductors, optics, nanotechnology, MEMS, manufacturing, biomedical and environmental engineering, make measurement technology and intelligent instruments (which sense, measure and report), more important than ever, and essential for the rapid development of information technology.
• Intergranular and Interphase Boundaries in Materials
  Continuing the scope of the preceding Conferences on Intergranular and Interphase Boundaries in Materials, the present conference focused on the atomic-level modeling of interfaces, the structural and chemical characterization of internal interfaces, on their thermodynamic, kinetic, mechanical, electrical, magnetic behavior and high-Tc superconductivity, and on the application of current knowledge to the design of polycrystalline materials having improved properties. Particular attention was paid to non-equilibrium segregation in irradiated materials.
• Advances in Abrasive Technology VIII
  This book presents a wealth of valuable up-to-date information for active researchers and engineers, and will certainly form a solid basis for any future research, in the field of abrasive technology, which is aimed at creating new and practical machine tools, systems and processes, or at identifying new characteristics.
