This special collection focuses on measurement science and metrology: micro- and nano-measurements; novel measurement methods and diagnostic technologies, including non-destructive and dimensional inspection, optical and X-ray tomography and interferometry, terahertz technologies for science, industry and biomedicine, intelligent measuring instruments and systems for industry and transport, measurements of geometrical and mechanical quantities, measurements and metrology for humanitarian fields and education in measurement science. The aim was to present the current state and evolution of measuring technology and intelligent instruments, to highlight novel technologies for science, industry and engineering, and to spot promising ways towards further development, of new technologies for measurement, at the international level. The special collection was established following the results of the 12th International Symposium on Measurement Technology and Intelligent Instruments (ISMTII 2015, September 22 - 25, 2015, Taipei, Taiwan).
This volume of Key Engineering Materials contains papers presented at the 16th Metal Forming International Conference held in Kraków, Poland on September 18-21, 2016. Metal Forming 2016 is the 16th in a series of International Conferences organized by AGH University of Science and Technology since 1974. From 1994 to 2010 the Conference was organized biannually, jointly with the University of Birmingham, UK. The latter was replaced by the University of Toyohashi in 2010, when the Conference went, for the first time, to Japan. Metal Forming 2012 was organized in Kraków by AGH University of Science and Technology, together with the University of Toyohashi and, for the first time, by the University of Palermo, Italy, which had joined the Organization team, and hosted the Conference in 2014.
The papers published in this volume represent the state-of-the-art in the field of metal forming science and technology. The contents of papers submitted by authors representing universities, research institutes and industry from all over the world demonstrate the results of a very wide spectrum of research topics, from micro- and nano- forming, to the numerical modelling of processes and systems. Manuscripts cover a wide range of materials from metal powders, titanium and magnesium alloys to advanced high strength steels and multiphase materials.
