Metals, because of their inherent properties, have been in service to mankind from the Early Periods. Metal craft started turning into metal science in the 19th Century and got matured in 20th century. The present book, to the best of author’s memory, is the first attempt to present the history of metal science in one volume, covering both extractive and physical metallurgy. The book is aimed as a supplementary text book for students in metallurgy and materials science and also selectively for general readers. After a brief introduction (Chapter 1), the second and third chapters are devoted to extractive metallurgy. The chapters related to physical metallurgy (4th to 6th) are written in a sequence such that the description of structures is given first, before highlighting the properties of metals and alloys. The final chapter ‘Future Trends’ highlights various topics in contemporary metal science.

The main emphasis of this special volume is placed on new developments in low-dimensional magnetism, magnetic semiconductors and oxides, transport phenomena and spintronics, magnetophotonics, HF magnetic properties and metamaterials, shape memory alloys and magnetocaloric effects, magnetic properties of strongly correlated systems and superconductivity, medicine and geophysics, and applications. Trends in magnetism are also discussed.

The 20th century was a period during which many new sciences and engineering techniques appeared and evolved, and were applied to industrial applications. Towards the end of that century, however, it was recognized that - in many cases - the industrial technologies that underpin current-day society suffered from wider sociogical deficiencies. The usual engineering approaches began to face many difficulties which arose from the high habitual levels of consumption of energy and resources.. Energy sources, and supplies of various resources, have already begun to diminish in the 21st century. These limitations on energy and resources require science and technology to adapt quickly to this new regimen.

Description: The 3rd Asian Conference on the Heat Treatment of Materials (AHTM’05) provided a forum within which engineers, scientists, researchers and production managers could review and discuss recent progress and emerging topics in the fields of Advanced Heat Treatment and Surface Engineering Technology.

General topics, and various R&D efforts related to heat treatment and surface engineering, were also covered at the Conference.

Description: This book is divided into two parts: the first part describes diffusion processes, and the second part describes radiation damage to - and cold-working of - zirconium and some of its important alloys.

Description: This latest annual look back at the subject includes review papers on some applications of mechanical spectroscopy and magnetic relaxation to the monitoring of diffusion, on the effect of positron diffusion upon their annihilation, on the wind force in electromigration, on the creep of nanocrystalline metals (as related to grain-boundary diffusion) and on self-interstitial atom behaviour at high temperatures in dense metals.

Description: It is the aim of the present book to make the reader familiar with the application of a model developed by Andries Miedema which opened completely new perspectives in materials science. For example, a result that was obtained by a one-month run on a Cray 1 supercomputer turned out to be only a few kilo Joules different from the outcome by Miedema’s model, obtained within a few minutes by use of a pocket calculator.
