The present publication arises as a result of the cooperation between the Institute of Production Technologies (IPT), belonging to the Faculty of Materials Science and Technology (MTF) of the Slovak University of Technology (STU) and TRANS TECH PUBLICATIONS INC. For the fifth time, the book aims at publishing scientific achievements on the Materials Science and Production Technologies fields, as well as at enhancing the worldwide cooperation and recognition among young and senior academicians and/or practitioners. Some of the main topics included in the book are those related but not limited to the trends in Materials Science and their application in industry, e.g.: composites and biomaterials, polymers, materials weldability, analysis of metals and alloys, numerical analyses and simulation of materials, etc. Most of these topics keep a direct relation to the production technologies and systems and thus, always keeping a special focus on the materials used, there are also topics in the book addressing key production processes, technologies and systems.
This collection of peer-reviewed papers by results of 15th International Conference on Aluminium Alloys (ICAA15, 12-16 June, 2016 in Chongqing, China) that are cover most aspects of aluminium alloys, including casting and solidification; phase transformations; thermo-mechanical processing; metal plasticity and forming; strength, fracture and fatigue; advanced atomic-scale characterization; corrosion and surface properties; novel processes and alloy design; modelling and numerical simulation.
Novel Trends in Production Devices and Systems III (NTPDS III) special volume is aimed at publishing scientific achievements in the fields of Materials Science and associated Production Technologies, as well as at enhancing the worldwide cooperation among young and senior academicians and/or practitioners, and specially those from the European region. The volume has been enriched taking into account years of research and teaching activities in the fields, experiences resulting from the scientific collaboration among higher education centers, e.g.: CECOL, while at the same time by also counting on a prestigious editorial review board that made strong analyses of the submitted papers. Some of the main topics included in the book are those related but not limited to the trends in Materials Science and their application in industry, e.g.: composites and polymers, materials weldability, analysis of metals and alloys, numerical analyses and simulation of materials, etc.
The 38 papers are grouped as follows:
Chapter 1: Integrated Product Development;
Chapter 2: Technical and Technological Support of Flexible and Intelligent Manufacturing Systems;
Chapter 3: Technological Measurements;
Chapter 4: Materials in Modern Production;
Chapter 5: Management, Production Planning and Quality;
Chapter 6: Current Tendencies in Engineering Education.
