Description:

This volume comprises papers submitted at the 2021 9th International Conference on Metallurgy Technology and Materials (ICMTM 2021, October 28-29, 2021, Zhengzhou, China). The issue covers recent trends and progresses made in the field of metallurgy and materials science.

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.

Description: This journal's volume is compiled from the papers presented at the 5th International Conference on Material Engineering and Manufacturing (ICMEM 2021), the 4th International Conference on Materials Design and Applications (ICMDA 2021), and the 5th International Conference on Materials Engineering and Nano Sciences (ICMENS 2021). Collected articles reflect the last scientific and engineering solutions in materials science, structural metals processing technologies, functional materials, coatings, and chemical technologies in environmental engineering.

Description: This volume contains peer-reviewed papers presented at the 9th International Conference on Materials Science (ICMS 2020) held at Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, September 10-12, 2020, focusing on the study of structure, properties, and applications of new materials as well as techniques of materials characterisation. The conference was organized by the Mongolian Physical Society, National University of Mongolia, Inner Mongolia Normal University (China), and Institute of Physical Material Science, SB RAS (Russia).

Description: The published papers present recent research results in the area of modern concretes and concrete structures, discuss properties of concretes, research and design of concrete structures of bridges and buildings.

Description: The collection contains papers introduced at the 18th International Conference Silicate Binders 2019 (ICBM 2019, Brno, Czech Republic, 2019) and focuses on the newest knowledge in the field of inorganic binders, conventional and refractory concrete, and other building composites.
