Processing and Fabrication of Advanced Materials X

From The Critics

Forty-one papers from the November 2001 symposium present research findings related to the processing, fabrication, and evaluation of advanced materials for manufacturing applications. The main subjects are structural and functional advanced materials, hydrogen storage materials, intermetallics, ceramics, advanced composites, and novel techniques in materials design and processing. Topics include nanostructured magnetic materials, hydrogen absorbing alloys with a body-centric-cubic structure, the friction characteristics of alumina and partially stabilized zirconia composites, and the removal of fine bubbles from molten metal through a wettability effect.
