Advanced Materials and Processing are important areas of research in Engineering Science and Technology, which have to focus on bridging the critical gap between researchers and engineers in order to shape the new world. Advanced Materials and Processing play an increasingly important role in the global economy and in daily life. Researchers and engineers strive to develop new devices and processes, using mathematical and analytical tools, in order to create technologies for a rapidly expanding range of materials and manufacturing processes. A large proportion of the present papers addressed current scientific research and provided solutions to industrial problems; thereby creating an environment of mutual interest to industry and academia. The papers are grouped into 10 chapters: 1. Forming Processes, 2. Casting, Joining and Related Processes, 3. Materials, 4. Materials Removal Processes, 5. High Energy Beam Removal Process, 6. Precision Engineering and Nano-Technology, 7. Surface Engineering, 8. Computer-Aided Engineering, 9. Green Manufacturing and Management, 10. Others. This comprehensive coverage will be much appreciated by readers.

Description: The aim of this work is to present the latest results of scientific research carried out by staff, in the Faculty of Materials Engineering and Metallurgy at the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice, who are working in the area of light-metal alloys. The 20 papers are divided into three chapters: Aluminum Alloys, Magnesium Alloys and Titanium Alloys. This will be essential reading matter for anyone working in the same field.

Description: The deformation-processing of advanced materials having ultrafine- or nano-structures, and therefore significantly improved properties, has developed into one of the most promising frontiers of materials science and technology. The present 35 peer-reviewed papers cover many aspects of Nanomaterials and Plastic Deformation and will provide a succinct introduction to the subject.

Description: This special volume aims to bring together the latest advances in, and applications of, surface engineering/coatings, modeling, analysis and simulation, materials forming, materials machining, welding and joining, laser-processing technology, casting and solidification, precision manufacturing technology and measurements, etc. It will not only furnish readers with a broad overview of the latest advances, but also provide a valuable summary and reference work for researchers in this field.

The 200 peer-reviewed articles in this “Nanomaterials by Severe Plastic Deformation” special collection are a convincing demonstration of the relevance of bulk ultrafine grained and nanostructured materials, produced by severe plastic deformation, to a wide range of researchers and engineers., The total number of articles in this edition, larger than that in the 2008 edition, shows that this community is, in fact, growing. The coverage includes all aspects of NanoSPD: Principles of SPD Processing, Microstructural Evolution and Grain Refinement, Mechanical Properties of SPD Materials, Functional and other Properties of SPD Materials, Innovation and Applications.

Materials science is an interdisciplinary field which involves the study of the properties of matter and the exploitation of those properties in various areas of science and engineering. It investigates the relationship between the structure of a material at the atomic or molecular scale and its resultant macroscopic properties. This three-volume set provided an international forum for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to the load-bearing capacity of materials, as influenced by their basic properties, processing history, microstructure and operating environment.

This work comprises eight contributions from leading experts on the topic of the mechanical behaviour of materials. The research themes described in this special volume range from surface forces, surface energies and adhesion to the indentation and nano-indentation of solids and fracture waves in glasses to spectroscopic studies of biological cells.

Description: This collection of 356 peer-reviewed papers is devoted to the topics. of casting, forming and machining, processing and joining technologies, evolution of material properties in manufacturing processes, engineering or degradation of surfaces in manufacturing processes, design and behavior of equipment and tools; all seen from the perspective of the latest advances made and their practical application.

Description: This two-volume set contains a collection of 381 peer-reviewed papers. Its aim is to bring together the latest advances in, and applications of, alloy design, process development, component engineering, phase-composition prediction, high-temperature oxidation, wrought alloys, lifetime estimation and materials behavior, cobalt-based alloys, nickel-iron alloys, joining, alternative materials and powder-metallurgy and also to consider the future of superalloys.
