Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The goal of this special collection was to provide an unique opportunity to exchange information, to present the latest results as well as to review relevant issues concerning contemporary research in mechanical engineering. Young scientists in particular were encouraged to submit their latest research results, and this is reflected in the final result.

Description: Given that the basic purpose of all research in materials science and technology is to tailor the properties of materials to suit specific applications, phase transformations are the natural key to the fine-tuning of the structural, mechanical and corrosion properties. A basic understanding of the kinetics and mechanisms of phase transformation is therefore of vital importance. Apart from a few cases involving crystallographic martensitic transformations, all phase transformations are mediated by diffusion. Thus, proper control and understanding of the process of diffusion during nucleation, growth, oxidation, sintering, etc are essential for optimising the properties of materials to meet specific needs.
