Description: This book presents the proceedings of the International Conference on Residual Stresses 9 and is devoted to the prediction/modelling, evaluation, control, and application of residual stresses in engineering materials. The state of the art is presented by the contributions of researchers from both academia and industry. New developments, on stress-measurement techniques, on modelling and prediction of residual stresses and on progress made in the fundamental understanding of the relation between the state of residual stress and the material properties, are highlighted. Focal points of interest are: simulation of stress profiles, depth-resolved stress analysis using synchrotron radiation and phase transformations in welded structures. This book offers an indispensable overview of the current understanding of the role of residual stresses in materials used in wide ranging application areas, such as, for example, microelectronic devices, sensors and actuators and machine parts, as in the automotive industry.

Abrasive technology is the most important aspect of precision technology. A total of 117 full-color papers are to be found in this book. Developments in precision turning, milling, and drilling, machining of difficult-to-cut materials, such as chromium-nickel alloys, titanium alloys, carbides and ceramics, and glass are addressed. In addition, special processes of precision technology, including polishing, lapping, jet-machining, magnetic finishing, micro and nano-machining, machine-tool design, silicon wafers and spinning, are presented. This work is a handy guide to the state of the art.

The subjects covered in this special collection are all related to fatigue, corrosion-fatigue, elastoplastic fracture, damage, mixed-mode loading, brittle layers, the effects of boriding, short cracks, residual strength and many other topics. In all of the cases considered, the solutions obtained are based upon theory, experimental results and, in some cases are complemented by numerical analysis.

The field of Residual Stresses is a very large one and is also highly interdisciplinary in nature with regard both to its applications and to its scientific and technological fundamentals. The highly successful aim of this Conference (ECRS6) was to bring together researchers and practicing engineers, academics and students from all of the European Community members; as well as guests from overseas.

Materials, as utilized, experience the effect of residual, internal stresses, as these are the outcome of the material synthesis and/or engineering, and/or application in practice. Understanding and control of residual stresses is a prerequisite for successful application of materials in wide ranging areas as corresponding to, e.g., the microelectronic industry (thin films) and the automotive industry (crankshafts).

Description: The book reports on new scientific and technological developments involving:
1.the substitution of phenomenological knowledge by fundamental insight on the structure-property relations (e.g. nitriding and nitrocarburazing); 2.the modelling and control of various processes as, in particular, the classical quenching and tempering and the thermochemical processes; 3.the emergence of dedicated surface treatments, as those based on ion beams and the numerous ways for physical vapour deposition; and 4.the rise to maturity of vacuum and plasma technology including the application of (atmosphere) sensors of various kinds.
