Materials Science Forum

Description: This volume presents proceedings of the 2020 Spring International Conference on Material Sciences and Technology (MST-S, August 14-16, 2020, Kunming, China) that reflect the modern level of achievements in applied materials science and industrial technologies.

Description:

With the current development of materials science and engineering, many different cost-effective and high-­­quality materials have come into use in various applications. Nowadays, the materials became multi-­­functional and required improvements and optimizations in their characteristics. The development of the structure of the material, adapted to each new application, needs the understanding of base matter characteristics, the changes in the microstructure and characteristics of the material during forming processes. Thus, this volume of the journal “Material Science Forum” presents to readers the 1st special issue from the series “Current Advances in Materials Applications,” which contains articles covering different aspects of the research the properties of the materials and methods their applications.

This collection will be useful for specialists from many branches of engineering sciences and modern production.

Description: The present publication arises as a result of the cooperation between the Institute of Production Technologies (IPT), belonging to the Faculty of Materials Science and Technology (MTF) of the Slovak University of Technology (STU) and TRANS TECH PUBLICATIONS INC. For the seventh time, the book aims at publishing scientific achievements on the Materials Science and Production Technologies fields, as well as at enhancing the worldwide cooperation and recognition among young and senior academicians and/or practitioners. Some of the main topics included in the book are those related but not limited to the trends in Materials Science and their application in industry, e.g.: composites and biomaterials, polymers, materials weldability, analysis of metals and alloys, numerical analysis and simulation of materials, etc. Most of these topics keep a direct relation to the production technologies and systems and thus, always keeping a special focus on the materials used, there are also topics in the book addressing key production processes, technologies and systems.
