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 fifth 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 analyses 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.
“Resource Efficient Material and Forming Technologies” is a compilation of selected conference papers presented at the metal forming conference MEFORM 2018, that has taken place from 21st to 23rd of March 2018 in Freiberg / Saxony. The publication is for engineers as wells as for representatives of R&D institutions and technical education aiming to resource-efficient production in the metalworking industries.It provides insights and information about new materials and technological developments for metals and forming technologies. Topics concern current trends in the field of light metals, steel and non-ferrous metals, energy-efficient production processes, new developments in the rolling, forging and heat treatment techniques, technological processes modelling and designing of the plant concept.
This collection contains selected papers presented at the Chinese Materials Conference 2017 (CMC 2017, Yinchuan City, Ningxia, China, July 06-12, 2017) and proposes to readers the last research results in area of modern structural and functional materials and technologies of their processing in the modern mechanical engineering, materials in the electronics, energy storage devices and alternative energy production, advanced building materials, materials and technologies in the environmental engineering and practice of the waste recycling. We hope this collection will be useful for the wide range of engineers and researchers in their activity.
