Publisher's Synopsis
This compilation of papers covers recent advances in integrating modelling and sensing for intelligent processing control of solidification processes such as melt processing, casting, joining, RSP, vapour plasma and crystal growth.;A key topic of discussion is the advantage of linking, both at the planning and implementation levels, the three major elements of modern materials processing - sensing or "exploration and quantification", modelling or "analysis and prediction", and control or "command and feedback".
