Description: The 29th International ESAFORM Conference on Material Forming (ESAFORM 2026, Thessaloniki, Greece, from 27 to 29 April 2026) is a joint scientific event of the oldest and most prestigious Mechanical Engineering academic schools in Greece, the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the National Technical University of Athens, respectively. The conference publication contains sixteent chapters the topicaly related with 16 Mini-Symposia around the following topics: additive manufacturing, composites forming processes, extrusion and drawing, forging and rolling, formability of metallic materials, friction and wear in metal forming, incremental and sheet metal forming, innovative joining by forming technologies, optimization and inverse analysis in forming, machining, cutting and severe plastic deformation, material behaviour modelling, new and advanced numerical strategies for material forming, non-conventional processes, polymer processing and thermo-mechanical properties, sustainability in material forming, and advanced metal casting. The edition will be useful for a wide range of specialists in structural materials forming processes.

Description: The edition presents the conference proceedings of the 15th European Conference on Superplastic Forming (EUROSPF 2024), held in the Basque Country, France, on 11-13 September 2024. The EUROSPF is focused on all aspects related to the superplasticity of materials and superplastic forming processes. Since 2001, it has been annually organised by various universities and institutions of France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Liechtenstein, and Italy. The Conference aims to serve as a reference and meeting point for discussing the latest research results on superplasticity and superplastic forming of structural materials, providing participants with the opportunity to showcase their current achievements and promote future collaborations.

Description:

Description: Interest in the phenomenon of superplasticity has been increasing steadily, both from the viewpoint of fundamental scientific understanding as well as of industrial application. The scope of superplasticity has also broadened materials-wise, and now includes, in addition to metals: intermetallics, ceramics, bulk metallic glasses, nanostructured materials and composites. The objective of this special collection was to provide an international forum through which to gather up-to-date knowledge and information on a wide range of topics and to encourage further developments in superplasticity. Over 64 peer-reviewed papers have been selected for publication.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The volume is divided into the following chapters: Mechanisms of Superplasticity, Superplastic Materials, Design, Testing and Modelling, Processing, Industrial Applications. Altogether, the contents constitute a timely and invaluable guide to the state-of-the-art of superplasticity.

Description: The original use of superplastic materials involved mainly applications involving aluminium and titanium. However, discoveries made all over the globe have led to the development of superplastic ceramics, intermetallics, nano-materials, plastics, glasses and other substances.

Description: Nanostructured materials, in which the structural features (e.g., grains and/or domains separated by low-angle grain boundaries) are smaller than 100nm in at least one dimension, have attracted worldwide research interest for more than a decade because of their unique properties. For example, the combination of high strength with high ductility has been reported for some nanostructured metals and alloys: this is a rare, if not impossible, combination of mechanical properties for coarse-grained metals and alloys. Among the many techniques available for producing nanostructured materials, severe plastic deformation (SPD) is the most popular and most rapidly developing one.

Interest in the phenomenon of superplasticity has been increasing steadily over the past thirty-four years, both from the viewpoint of fundamental scientific understanding as well as of industrial application. The scope of superplasticity has also broadened materials-wise, and now includes, in addition to metals: intermetallics, ceramics, bulk metallic glasses, nanostructured materials and composites.

Description: This indispensable work is the fifth in a series of international conferences devoted to advanced materials and processing. The conferences, which are held every three years, are jointly sponsored by the Chinese Society for Metals (CSM), the Japan Institute of Metals (JIM), the Korean Institute of Metals and Materials (KIM), and the Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (TMS), and organized by them in rotation. The purpose of this international conference, PRICM, is to provide a forum for the exchange of technical and scientific information, which is always of great benefit to researchers, manufacuturers and end-users.
