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.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
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.

Description: Journal Issue

Description: This unusual book analyses the problems left in the field of solid state diffusion. The authors were encouraged to discuss the inconsistencies, the gaps in knowledge, in short, the unsolved problems. This is a much more difficult task than writing the "usual" review and the authors are to be congratulated on their efforts.

Description: This book presents more than 60 papers on various topics of current interest, concerning the development of new types of alloys, trace elements, analytical techniques, the physics of the decomposition process, dislocation structure and technological applications.
