PRICM 6

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: This three-volume set collect 904 papers from the November 2007 Sixth Pacific Rim International Conference on Advanced Materials and Processing, which was organized by the Korean Institute of Metals and Materials and sponsored by the Chinese Society for Metals, the Japan Institute of Metals, the Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society, and the Institute of Materials Engineering Australia. Covering both technical and scientific issues, the papers are organized into sections on advanced ferrous alloys and processing; light metals; intermetallics and high temperature alloys; advanced ceramics; composite materials; advanced forming and processing; advanced melt processing, casting, and joining; magnetic, electronic, and optical materials; thin film materials and processing; amorphous and quasicrystalline materials and nanocrystalline materials; biomaterials, smart materials, and structures; fuel cells and hydrogen storage materials; ecomaterials and porous materials; energetic particles-materials interactions and nuclear materials; modeling and simulation of materials and processes; materials characterization and evaluation; damage evaluation and life assessment; phase transformation and applications; and interfaces and surface engineering. Also included are three plenary papers discussing deformation induced ferrite transformation in microalloyed steels, improvements and innovations in the continuous casting process at POSCO, and TiNi-base and Ti-base shape memory alloys.
