Description: This book contains the papers presented at the Tenth International Conference on High-Performance Ceramics (CICC-10), which was held from November 4 to 7, 2017, in Nanchang, China. The Collection covers most aspects in the field of high-performance ceramics (advanced ceramics), including processing, microstructures, and properties of structural and functional ceramics. Especially, the papers gave an overview of the most recent development in high-performance ceramics in China.

Description: Articles, collected in this volume, present the results of research in the fields of modern structural materials and technologies of their machining. The collection was created by the results of the International Conference on Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Processes (ICAMMP 18).

Description: The goal of this book is to present for readers the articles from the 11th International Symposium on the Science and Processing of Cast Iron that was held in September 2017 in Jönköping, Sweden. The content of the book reflects the state of the art, research and development tendencies of cast iron as the main engineering cast material also in the 21st century.

Description: The 16th International Conference Silicate Binders 2017 (ICBM 2017) was organized with the support from Brno University of Technology. The most important topics on the conference were the chemistry and technology of cement and other hydraulic and silicate binders, chemistry and technology of lime production and gypsum based binders. Special attention was paid to the use and behaviour of these mentioned binders in the various kinds of building materials, like concrete, inorganic insulations and in solidified sludges.

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: This collection of papers by results of the 11th European Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials 2016 (ECSCRM 2016, 25-29 September, Halkidiki, Greece) reflects the latest progress in the field of wide bandgap semiconductors, focusing on silicon carbide. In addition, it covers some selected aspects in related materials like silicon, graphene, gallium oxide and III-nitrides.

Description: The 2016 International Conference on Smart Materials Technologies was held during May 18-20, 2016 in Moscow, Russia. Conference was aims to provide a scientific platform for both local and international scientists, engineers and technologists who work in the different fields of engineering science and whose activities are related with smart materials technologies.

Description: The 14th S2P International Conference (October 23 – 27, 2016, Salt Lake City, USA) was dedicated to the science and processing technologies of the semi-solid metal alloys and composites. Since the discovery of the specific flow behavior of metals in semi-solid state during the early seventies, this fascinating technology has experienced a dynamic and turbulent development history which has led to a whole family of new production processes, new equipments and industrial applications for goals of full use of the technical and economic potential of the flow behaviour, improved materials and process modelling as well as control of processes. All S2P International Conferences have contributed to achieve this goal by providing a forum for scientists to share the common knowledge and to develop a common sense on fundamental topics and industrial requirements.
