Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
Materials science and engineering incorporate acquiring of knowledge on synthesis and processing of materials, their composition and structure, properties and behaviour, functions and potentialities as well as application of that knowledge to various final products. Economic prosperity, life quality, and healthy environment are tightly connected with the improvements in the existing and the development of advanced materials and processing technologies. These improvements and development can contribute greatly to the national priorities: energy saving, environment and health protection, information and communication, infrastructure, transportation, etc.

Description: The present work draws upon Diffusion and Defect Forum's 30-year project of summarizing recent progress in the fields of diffusion and defect research, by collating the relevant data which have been published during that time. The large number of studies of iron alloys reflects the great commercial importance of hydrogen embrittlement; an annoying phenomenon which has long plagued steel fabricators.

Description: These proceedings comprise the papers presented at the international conference on 'Diffusion in Materials (DIMAT-96)' held at Schloss Nordkirchen, Germany, August 1996 - the largest international diffusion conference so far held.
The two-volume set therefore covers a very broad spectrum of topics. From the materials point of view, metals, alloys, intermetallics, elemental and compound semiconductors, amorphous materials, nonmetals such as fast ionic conductors, oxides, nitrides, polymers and even melts were discussed.

Description: This publication presents the proceedings of the International Symposium towards Innovation in Superplasticity. The research project, "Innovation in Superplasticity", was chosen to be one of the priority scientific research efforts in 1996, of the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture, Japan.

Description: Among the various contributions are major papers covering the topics of bulk metallic glasses, GMR in mechanically alloyed materials, nanostructures via melt-spun precursors, mechanical grinding, mechanosynthesis and mechanochemistry. Progress in the area of sintering and compaction techniques is reported. The magnetic, mechanical and electrochemical properties of several nanocrystalline materials are discussed. Significant progress is also reported in the modeling and understanding of basic mechanisms of fabrication processes. Defects and grain boundaries in nanocrystalline materials remain important topics, and are the subject of in-depth consideration.

Description: Journal issue

Description: This volume reviews most recent developments in the field of metastable, mechanically alloyed and nanocrystalline alloys.

Description: In a majority of cases, the various processes which give rise to matter transport lead to the formation of new interfaces and to the concommitant development of new phases on either side of these newly created interfaces. The latter play a particularly important role, in the sense that the reactions that produce the new phases take place there.
