Advances Materials Processing

This book presents the proceedings of the second International Conference on Advanced Materials Processing (ICAMP 2002). The papers read during the conference are included here in full-length form. They comprise 2 keynote addresses, 9 invited papers and over 130 oral presentations, by delegates from more than 20 countries. The three-day conference was packed with a wide range of discussion topics, ranging from thin films, nano-structured materials, advanced metal-matrix composites, light-weight alloys and functional materials to characterization techniques, laser materials processing, ceramics processing and modeling/simulation. This makes the book a lively source of new ideas and up-to-date information.Lai, M. O. is the author of 'Advances Materials Processing' with ISBN 9780878499212 and ISBN 0878499210.
