Advances in Metallic Materials and Manufacturing Processes for Strategic Sectors (PDF)

The 108 peer-reviewed papers of this volume reflect the latest developments in the field of materials and manufacturing technology; ranging from fundamentals to new technologies and applications. In particular, the papers cover the processing of advanced materials and the characterization of performance in critical applications. This book provides a valuable reference source for researchers in the fields of materials and metallurgical engineering, or manufacturing science and technology, who wish to further their understanding of the processing of materials and the microstructure-mechanical property correlations underlying mechanisms, and to create innovative and practical techniques and processes. It should also be of particular interest to manufacturing engineers.Aimed at researchers in materials and metallurgical engineering, manufacturing science, and technology, this volume collects 108 invited lectures and papers from the proceedings of the International Conference on Advances in Metallic Materials and Manufacturing Processes for Strategic Sectors (ICAMPS 2012), held in January 2012 in Trivandrum, India. The papers illustrate a multidisciplinary approach to the selection of metallic materials for applications in high-technology areas like aerospace, nuclear research, defense, and energy involving research and development organizations, academia, and industries. Materials scientists and engineers from India, as well as North America, Asia, and Europe, discuss processing advanced materials, ultrafine grained materials, powder metallurgical processing, composite materials, mechanical properties, materials characterization, materials joining, failure analysis and corrosion, and functional and nano materials.
