New Materials and Processes

This comprehensive work contains up-to-date information, gathered from all over the world, concerning state-of-the art manufacturing science and engineering, focusing on New Materials and Processes. The 534 peer-reviewed papers are grouped into 16 chapters: Non-Ferrous Metallic Materials; Iron and Steel; Micro/Nano Materials; Ceramics; Optical/Electronic/Magnetic Materials; New Functional Materials; Building Materials; New Energy Materials; Environment-Friendly Materials; Earthquake-Resistant Materials and Design; Biomaterials; Smart/Intelligent Materials/Intelligent Systems; Polymeric Materials; Thin Films; Mechanical Behaviour and Fracture; Tooling, Testing and Evaluation of Materials.In this three-volume set, selected, peer-reviewed papers from a March 2012 conference report on the latest work in manufacturing and processing of new materials. Volume 1 presents chapters on non-ferrous metal material, iron and steel, and micro/nano materials. Some specific paper subjects include recovery of copper and cobalt from spent aerospace material with pollution-free oxidant, creep-rupture properties of low-harness modified 9Cr-1Mo steel, qualitative analysis of inclusions in aluminum, and face strain and interlaminar stress of bamboo plywood. Volume 2 offers papers grouped in chapters on ceramics, optical/electronic/magnetic materials, new functional materials, and building materials. Some topics include numerical techniques for nonlinear Lagrangian dynamical systems, and a feasibility study on the use of desulphurization slag as binder material for concrete mixing. In Volume 3, chapters address new energy materials, environmentally friendly materials, earthquake materials, biomaterials, smart materials, polymeric materials, thin film, mechanical behavior and fracture, and tooling testing and evaluation of materials.
