Description: This special edition brings together a collection of articles that explore advances in materials science and environmental sustainability. The focus is on three distinct research areas: aluminium alloy properties and processing technologies, polymers and composites, and waste recycling and soil contamination analysis. The presented comprehensive examinations of technological innovations in materials science, machinery and environmental safety, make this edition an essential resource for researchers and engineers striving for sustainable progress in the modern world.

Cost-Affordable Titanium IV

Edited by: M. Ashraf Imam, F. H. (Sam) Froes and Ramana G. Reddy

Online since: May 2013

Description: The diverse mix of papers presented here, reflect the breadth of activities in the cost affordable use of titanium and emerging applications. The opening overview paper, by the editors, attempts to present a broad view of present and projected titanium cost reduction, both in titanium production and in subsequent processing. What is particularly clear is that the impetus for broadening markets for titanium is very much dependent on cost reduction methods, particularly cost sensitive industrial applications such as the auto industry.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The papers are grouped into four chapters and these are: Overview and Low Cost Processing, Powder Consolidation and Characterization, Creative Processing and Low Cost Materials and Properties.
