This book covers the essential information needed to understand the latest developments of solid-state welding and processing of metallic materials, including physical metallurgy, production technologies, alloy development, compositing, post-processing, and joining methodologies.Advances in Solid-State Welding and Processing of Metallic Materials is the result of the collaborative efforts from expert researchers across various institutions around the globe. Harnessing this wealth of expertise and experience, the book enables the reader to comprehend both the theory behind microstructural evolution, as well as the practical elements of welding and processing. It also analyzes strengthening mechanisms, corrosion mechanisms, and wear mechanisms. Topics discussed in this book include friction stir welding, friction stir processing, modified friction stir clinching, hot-rolling and cold-rolling alongside diffusion bonding, and powder metallurgy processing. This book is a valuable companion to all students and researchers in metallurgy, materials science and engineering, manufacturing engineering, and production engineering.

This collection gives broad and up-to-date results in the research and development of materials characterization and processing. Topics covered include characterization methods, ferrous materials, non-ferrous materials, minerals, ceramics, polymer and composites, powders, extraction, microstructure, mechanical behavior, processing, corrosion, welding, solidification, magnetic, electronic, environmental, nano-materials, and advanced materials The book explores scientific processes to characterize materials using modern technologies, and focuses on the interrelationships and interdependence among processing, structure, properties, and performance of materials.

This collection presents papers from a symposium on extraction of rare metals as well as rare extraction processing techniques used in metal production. Topics include the extraction and processing of elements such as rare earth metals including yttrium and scandium, gold, vanadium, cesium, zinc, copper, tellurium, bismuth, potassium, aluminum, iridium, titanium, manganese, uranium, rhenium, and tungsten. Rare processing techniques covered include supercritical fluid extraction, direct extraction processes for rare-earth recovery, biosorption of precious metals, and recovery of valuable components of commodity metals such as zinc, nickel, and metals from slag.

This book represents a collection of papers presented at the 2015 International Conference on Advanced Material Engineering (AME 2015), held in Guangzhou, China. With the rapid development of industry and information technology, researchers across all fields began to discuss new ideas related to materials science and manufacturing technology. This proceedings provide a valuable insight from researchers and scientists who exchanged their ideas in the conference.

Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2011 SSITE International Conference on Future Material Research and Industry Application (FMRIA 2011), December 1-2, 2011, Macau, China
