Description: Modern structural and functional materials are essential for modern production and engineering and the cutting edge production technologies require application of the improved materials to achieve the intended results necessary for progress and development in the said industries. For that purpose, research and analysis of such materials and their properties are crucial as they help to understand how the materials perform under different conditions and improve their characteristics in accordance with the intended targets. Corrosion resistance and analysis of materials damage state and durability, methods of green synthesis functional nanoparticles, properties and application of shape memory alloys, and analysis of the possibility of the application the abrasive waterjet garnet wastes in concrete production are the main topics related to the materials properties research that are presented to the readers. This will be helpful for specialists in materials science from many production branches, including construction and engineering.

Description: This volume covers research results in materials science and materials processing technologies in the various branches of the modern industry. This edition will be interesting and useful for many engineers, academicians, and students.

Description:

The intensive development of engineering contributes to the emergence of new materials and technologies for their processing. This special issue contains research papers on modern technologies for creating and processing materials, welded joints, additive technologies, and engineering tasks in mechanical engineering and materials science. The book is intended for a wide range of specialists engaged in the development and production of metal structures and students, undergraduates, graduate and postgraduate students of technical colleges and universities.

Description:

The volume contains proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Semi-Solid Processing of Alloys and Composites (S2P 2021, September 28-30, 2021, Leoben, Austria). The presented collection is dedicated to the study of the technologies of semi-solid processing of alloys and composites.

Description: Progress in materials science and engineering is closely related to material properties. It is because materials' performance is closely related to the microstructure. Therefore at present, many modern microscopic studying techniques are used in materials science. Those methods have evolved over decades, or even centuries, from quite rudimentary tools to highly sophisticated equipment. They are necessary for both the quality control of products and the development of new materials. The technical context of measuring materials' properties ranges from fundamental science to reasonably practical "real-world" field tests that can predict performance and—one hopes—prevent machines components failure. In this book, contributions on the following topics were particularly encouraged: optical and mechanical characterization of coarse-grained and nanostructured materials; correlative analysis of microscopic and mechanical properties of surface engineered materials; properties of a new generation of biomorphic materials; validation of the materials' performance in "real-world" tests.

Description: This volume contains extended papers presented at the 19th International Conference on Silicate Binders (ICBM 2020), held on 3 December 2020 in Brno, Chech Republic. The conference was focused on scientific and practical achievements in the development and properties research of inorganic binders for building materials. The most important topics were related to the investigation of cementitious composites and other hydraulic and silicate binders and analysis of lime and gypsum-based binders' chemical properties and production technologies. We hope that these proceedings will be helpful to many professionals in the field of building materials.
