Publisher's Synopsis
This book comprises the proceedings of the 9th International Symposium on Metastable, Mechanically Alloyed and Nanocrystalline Materials (ISMANAM), which was held in Seoul, South Korea, from the 8th to the 12th September 2002. The 127 selected papers, from over 28 countries, which are presented here cover recent scientific discoveries in fundamental research as well as novel engineering applications in the fields of metastable and nanocrystalline materials. Many important issues concerning bulk metallic glasses, bulk nanocrystalline materials, mechanical alloying and mechanochemistry are discussed.
