Sensors and Modeling in Materials Processing Techniques and Applications : Proceedings of a Symposium on the Application of Sensors and Modeling to Materials Processing, Spononsored by the EPD/MDMD Synthesis, Control, and Analysis in Materials Processing Committee and the EPD Process Fundamentals Committee, Held at the 126th Annual Meeting of the Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society, Orlando, February 9-13, 1997

This symposium proceedings volume identifies and examines the fundamentals and applied aspects of sensors and sensor technologies in materials processing. The 32 papers are grouped into the following areas of discussion: modeling of materials processing; sensing and control; x-ray, laser, and optical techniques; eddy current techniques; ultrasonic and acoustic techniques; and electrochemical techniques.;Coverage includes: stability analysis of microstructure evolution processes; electronic prototyping - towards virtual materials research; use of imaging pyrometry sensors in metallurgical processes; advances in sensing compound semiconductor crystal growth; laser ultrasonic sensing of solid-liquid interfaces during Bridgman single-crystal growth; and development and application of oxygen sensors in copper metallurgy.;A collection of papers from the 1997 TMS Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida, February 9-13, 1997.
