TMS Structural Materials Division Sponsors Three New Volumes
Warrendale, PA: What do bulk metallic glasses, superplastic forming techniques, and innovations in titanium processing all have in common? All are topics covered in three proceedings volumes to be published by the Structural Materials Division of TMS (The Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society).
Planned for availability concurrent to the 2004 TMS Annual Meeting and Exhibition in Charlotte, NC, March 14-18, 2004, these titles will contain cutting-edge research on three vital areas of structural material study.
Edited by E.M. Taleff (University of Texas), P.E. Kraiewski, (General Motors) and P.A. Friedman (Ford), Advances in Superplasticity and Superplastic Forming will address the various advances in materials and process technologies required for superplastic forming to enter mass production environments such as the automotive industry, where fast cycle time is a key requirement. The proceedings focus on the forming of light alloys at more rapid rates and lower temperatures. Results of advanced R&D efforts from both industrial and university laboratories are presented. Scientists and engineers employed at automotive and aerospace manufacturing companies, as well as researchers based at universities, will find this volume particularly useful.
Bulk Metallic Glasses will be edited by P.K. Liaw and R.A. Buchanan (both of the University of Tennesee, Knoxville) and will serve as a guide to the fundamental understanding and theoretical modeling of Bulk Metallic Glasses (BMGs), focusing on processing, nanocrystalline materials and composites based on BMGs, mechanical behavior, shear-band formation, fatigue, and corrosion fatigue of BMGs. An exciting new research field, BMGs may soon find application in biomedical, structural, and mechanical applications. Generally, BMGs have higher fracture strengths, fracture toughnesses, and elasticities than crystalline alloys, but mechanistic understanding and theoretical modeling are necessary to further the studies of processing, microstructures, and mechanical behavior of BMGs.
F.H. Froes (University of Idaho), M.A. Imam (Naval Research Laboratory), and D. J. Fray (University of Cambridge) will edit the proceedings of the Cost Affordable Titanium Symposium Dedicated to Prof. Harvey Flower. The book will contain papers addressing all aspects of cost reduction in titanium and its alloys, which are used in many demanding applications in aerospace and terrestrial systems because of their excellent combination of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The various segments of titanium technology to be covered will include extraction of new lower cost alloys, creative melting, near net shape techniques, processing/fabrication advances, better process control including enhanced inspection methods, and creative designs such as functionally graded materials, porous alloys and infiltrated concepts.
