Description: The present collection of papers should give insight into too complicated, but rather interesting nature of cermets together with ongoing research and application. The papers based on research results of some most important laboratories which fruitfully have enlarged and are still enlarging the knowledge in this field.

Description: Powder metallurgy of titanium and titanium alloys has been increasingly attracting attention of engineers and researchers for over four decades and the 4th International Conference on Titanium Powder Metallurgy & Additive Manufacturing (PMTi 2017, Xi’an, China, from 8 to 10 September 2017) was an event that promoted the progress in this area of the materials science and processing technologies.

Description: Тhe thematic scope of 16th International Symposium on Metallography and Materials Science (20 – 22 April 2016, Stará Lesná, Slovak Republic) - modern metallographic methods and techniques in scientific and engineering researches of properties and of the technological features of the advanced structure materials used in the different areas of modern industry. We hope this collection of papers will be useful for wide range of readers whose activity is related with materials science and with materials processing technologies.

Description: The research on metals in their liquid state has been underestimated for a long time and the specific literature was scarce compared to those regarding solid metals. In the last twenty years, the situation has progressively changed and the matter has emerged as a fundamental area of investigation for physicists, metallurgists and materials scientists with consequent achievement of relevant results both on basic and applicative aspects. Today the description and the characterisation of molten metals and alloys is a wide and interdisciplinary topic and involves different approaches, from physics to technology, from processing to modelling.
The book is structured in review and research papers and offers the state-of-the-art information on physics, technological properties, processing and modelling of physical and technological behaviour of liquid metals and alloys.

Description: This book comprises 178 papers presented in the Ninth International Conference on High-Performance Ceramics (CICC-9), which was held from November 4 to 7, 2013, in Guilin, China. It covered most aspects of field of high-performance ceramics (advanced ceramics), including processing, microstructures and properties of structural and functional ceramics. Some papers concerning the ceramics for next generation nuclear energy were included. Especially, in the papers given an overview of the most recent development in high-performance ceramics in China.

Description: Present issue is devoted to problems classical mass diffusion such as phase transformations, corrosion behavior, coatings and microstructures and extensions to new research in the field of nanotechnology. Were investigated classical carbon and alloy steels, titanium and aluminum alloys as well as polymer materials. Technical applications relate to oil recovery, surface quality, and improved material properties for machining and processing. Many of these topics are related to experimental measurements and methods as well as numerical simulation and approaches to predict properties and processes.

Description: This book comprises 117 papers presented in the Sixth Annual Meeting on Testing and Evaluation of Advanced Materials, which was held from April 23 to 25, 2015, in Chengdu, China. It covered most aspects of analysis techniques for chemical composition and microstructures and testing techniques on physical properties of advanced materials (mainly inorganic materials, including ceramics, glasses, concretes, synthesized crystals, etc.) and reflects the newest developments in these fields in China.

Chapter 1: Applied Materials and their Applications
Chapter 2: Noise and Vibration Analysis
Chapter 3: Thermal Engineering, Fluids and Energy
Chapter 4: Applied Mechanics, Design and Manufacturing

Description: There are relatively few revolutions in the venerable and rather staid field of metallurgy. One can count among them the advent of metallic glasses, of superplastic metals, or of memory-alloys. The latest revolution involves the relatively staid topic of alloy formulation, but is all the more startling because the resultant materials break every long-cherished rule of alloy design. In particular, the famous empirical rules of Hume-Rothery are completely ignored. That is, in the archetypal high-entropy alloy, five metals are alloyed together in equal proportions regardless of atomic-size difference, valence or crystal structure. Commonsense would tell any experienced metallurgist that that could result only in a uselessly brittle mass of intermetallic compounds. But in a truly paradigm-shifting manner, Professor J.W.Yeh of Taiwan correctly predicted that a high configurational entropy could suppress the appearance of detrimental intermetallic compounds and lead to simple familiar microstructures having very useful properties. High-Entropy Alloys can exhibit, for instance, astounding hardness and strength and also have a very good corrosion resistance. The present book summarises the microstructures and properties of all of the high-entropy alloys.
