Textures & Anisotropy

• Fundamentals of Deformation and Annealing
  Deformation and annealing phenomena are of great technical significance to the processing and application of materials at the industrial scale. This edited collection of peer-reviewed papers was designed as a one-off vehicle for reviewing the current understanding of the basic mechanisms and processes that control deformation and annealing in various materials, together with their modelling and simulation. Another  aim was to facilitate discussion of the failings of established theories, to explore new ideas, and to identify avenues where future research is required. The present papers apply these concepts to a wide range of materials and applications; from conventional steels and light alloys to nanocrystalline gold wires and geological samples.
• Advances in Materials Processing Technologies
  Manufacturing can be considered to be the most wide-ranging, interdisciplinary and sometimes-controversial branch of Engineering. It is even sometimes difficult to define it concisely, but everybody recognises its contributions.
• Advanced Structural Materials II
  This collection comprises invited and contributed papers which were presented at the Advanced Structural Materials Symposium held in Cancún, México during the Annual Conference of the Mexican Academy of Materials Science.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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:
• European Powder Diffraction 6
  The proceedings of the 6th European Conference on Powder iffraction cover 191 papers in the areas of X-ray and neutron diffraction (36 papers). Chapters on Method Development, Development of Instruments and Techniques, Software, Synchrotron and Neutron Diffraction offer new ideas on subjects as Microstructure of Materials, Determination of Crystallographic Structure, Quantitative Phase Analysis, and Texture & Coarse Grains. Developments in analysis using the X-ray lens –a bundle of glass capillaries- and single or double X-ray mirrors continue.
• Electrophoretic Deposition: Fundamentals and Applications II
  This collection focuses solely on the topic of electrophoretic deposition (EPD) and its application as a processing technique for the fabrication of both traditional and new materials.
