Description: This book presents full text peer-reviewed papers presented at the THERMEC 2023, the 12th International Conference on Processing and Manufacturing of Advanced Materials, which took place between July 03 and July 07, 2023, in Vienna, Austria, under the co-sponsorship of TU Wien and Graz University of Technology. The Conference was also under the auspices of professional organizations from Japan, Korea, France, Italy, The Netherlands, Germany, Brazil, Austria, India, and Canada. The Conference brought together researchers and engineers/technologists working in different aspects of processing, fabrication, structure/property evaluation and applications of both, ferrous and nonferrous materials including biomaterials, smart/intelligent materials as well as advanced characterisation techniques.

Description: The cutting edge of engineering ceramic research is evolving rapidly, leading into new fields far beyond the conventional image of ceramics. Careful tailoring of micro- and nano-structures, in particular, is yielding superior mechanical and chemical properties, such as high hardness, high strength, good heat/corrosion resistance and good tribological properties.

This special collection comprises papers from researchers working in the fields of ceramics and composites and thus provides an opportunity for the cross-pollination of knowledge and experience in interdisciplinary fields of materials science and engineering. Intensive discussions were held on the topics of silicon carbide and composites, nitride ceramics, the mechanical properties of ceramics, the sintering of ceramics, ceramics coating and the processing of functional ceramics. This work constitutes an invaluable handbook guide to a rapidly evolving subject.

The papers are conveniently arranged into the CERAMICS AND COMPOSITES IN EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS, Oxide-based Ceramics and Composites, Nitride, Carbide and Boride Ceramics and Composites, Advances in Non-destructive Evaluation, CERAMICS FOR CHEMICAL, ELECTROCHEMICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL APPLICATIONS, Chemical Sensors, Catalysts and Catalysts Supports, Ceramics for Electrochemistry and Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage.

Description: Advanced Materials and Processing are important areas of research in Engineering Science and Technology, and require a critical focus on bridging the gap between researchers and engineers. 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 to create technologies to handle the rapidly expanding range of materials and manufacturing processes. The Advances in Materials and Processing Technologies conference series creates a stimulating environment for the research collaboration of scholars at the local, national and international levels, contributes to the collective development of a knowledge-based society and economy.

Description: During the past fifty years, significant progress has been achieved in the theory and application of SiAlONs and other similar non-oxide ceramics. In particular, the advances of the last thirty years in research and development have made SiAlONs, and similar materials, some of the most important engineering ceramics and new functional ceramics of today.

Significant progress has been made over the past 30 years in handling silicon-based ceramics such as silicon nitride, silicon carbide, SiAlON, silicides and composites. A better understanding of processing parameters in various forming techniques, and of microstructure-property relationships, has led to substantial improvements in thermomechanical performance and reliability; as well as in cost reduction.

Description: Zirconia-based systems have been extensively studied for some 25 years, and a wealth of exciting results has been amassed. This book tracks the progress made in the field; from very early phase stability work, to modern approaches which involve quite sophisticated models for the transformation toughening that is associated with the tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformation.

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.
