Publisher's Synopsis
This diverse collection of papers reflects the full scope of activity in advanced processing, ranging from the synthesis of new materials, such as nanl-structure materials and lightweight metal foams, to the applciation of advanced fabrication techniques.;An opening overview of the role of advanced processing in the development of new materials is presented. The remaining 40 papers are divided into the three categories of aluminium, titanium and;Faced with demands for ever greater material performance, materials scientists have responded with a range of sophisticated new processing routes to provide, in some cases, new classes of materials. At the same time, advances in processing technology have provided the means to fabricate these new materials into practical, and cost-effective materials.
