Description: This supplement contains further selected papers from the 5th International Conference on the Processing and Manufacturing of Advanced Materials – THERMEC’2006 - held from July 4-8, 2006 in Vancouver, Canada.

Description: Continued advances in the welfare of the human race depend upon the continual development of, and improvement in, the engineering devices that serve our day-to-day needs. Such development and improvement in engineering devices hinges primarily upon the availability of innovative materials which are capable of withstanding the most stringent service conditions. Materials with nano-level microstructural features make up one such class of material that has recently caught the imagination of researchers worldwide. These materials have demonstrated their potential to exhibit very unusual combinations of properties, and have convincingly confounded conventional beliefs.

In recent years, significant progress has been made in developing high performance materials for technological needs. In the case of structural ceramics, silicon nitride-based materials are considered the most promising candidates.
The goal of this book is to evaluate the state of knowledge of silicon nitride-based materials with respect to basic science, powder technology and material properties as well as to discuss future work required in this areas.

Description: The volume presents the papers presented at the International Symposium on Metal Matrix Composites (ISMMC) held in Cairo in 1992. All papers have been reviewed and edited.

Description: Erosion of ceramic materials often limits their use in many structural applications such as turbine blades, turbocharger rotors, bearings, replacement hip joints, cutting tools, and windscreens and nose cones of supersonic aircraft. The degradation effects of erosion arise because of the extreme susceptibility of ceramics to localized surface cracking when impacted by a hard particle.
