First International Conference on Processing Materials for Properties Proceedings of the First Jointly Sponsored Conference Between the Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (TMS) in Conjunction With the Mining & Materials Processing Institute of Japan (MMIJ), Held in Hawaii, November 7-10, 1993

This volume contains the proceedings of a conference on the properties of materials and their relationship to processing conditions. The globalization of materials production and the creation of new technology and materials is broadening the horizons of materials and their processing routes. There is an increasing demand for improved product quality and for specific product properties having higher value added, but at low processing costs.;Specific processes and materials discussed include: copper, nickel, zinc, lead, tin and their by-products; precious and reactive metals; nonferrous alloys and light metals; high technology materials - magnets, batteries and superconductors; high-temperature materials; composite materials; thermal mechanical processing; thin films and coatings; powder preparation and processing; solidification processing; novel developments in aqueous processing; environmental control; nonferrous metals and human life; and resources/ recycling.
