TMS Releases Five New Titles for Fall 2005
(October 30, 2005, WARRENDALE, PA, USA). . .Materials science and technology, superalloys, and the aluminum cast house are the subjects of five new books published this fall by The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS), a professional organization headquartered in Warrendale, Pennsylvania. All the books stem from the proceedings of conferences held over the past two months.
From the Materials Science and Technology Conference in Pittsburgh, Pa., September 25-28, 2005:
Creep Deformation and Fracture, Design and Life Extension
Edited by Rajiv S. Mishra, James Calvin Earthman, Sai V. Raj, and R. Viswanathan; approximately 309 pages
This book covers both the fundamental aspects and engineering applications of creep. It includes a wide range of papers including creep life prediction, deformation mechanisms, databases for steels, alloy development for ultra-high temperature, and creep of emerging materials.
Processing and Fabrication of Advanced Materials XIV with Frontiers in Materials Science 2005: Innovative Materials & Manufacturing Techniques
Edited by T.S. Srivatsan, R.A. Varin, R. Abbaschian, and S. Viswanathan; approximately 563 pages
This publication contains 30 papers on aspects related to the processing, fabrication, characterization and evaluation of advanced materials. Topics addressed include composite materials, functional nanomaterials and micromanufacturing, intermetallics and advanced metallics, advanced metallics and machining, and metal forming and machining.
Science and Technology of Powder Materials: Synthesis, Consolidation and Properties
Edited by Leon L. Shaw, Eugene Al Olevsky, Fernand D. Marquis, Iver E. Anderson, James H. Adair, and Jitendra P. Singh; approximately 223 pages
These proceedings address recent advancements and challenges in science and technologies related to synthesis, consolidation and properties of powder materials. They provide an update of various synthesis and processing techniques, processing/structure/property relationships, and unique properties derived from novel micro- and nano-powders. The rapidly expanded application areas for powder materials, from structural to electronic, biomedical, optical, magnetic, catalytic, power generation, and hydrogen storage are also covered.
From the Sixth International Symposium on Superalloys 718, 625, 706 and Derivatives, in Pittsburgh, Pa., October 2-5, 2005:
Superalloys 718, 625, 706 and Derivatives
Edited by E.A. Loria; approximately 727 pages
This book includes more than 70 papers covering recent innovations in production, processing, physical and mechanical metallurgy, and computer modeling. Among the papers are presentations from ATI Allvac on the newly developed Allvac 718 Plus, an improvement of alloy 718; and from GE Power Generation on alloys for heavy-duty turbine rotors in land-based turbines.
From the 9th Australasian Conference and Exhibition in Melbourne, Australia, September 12-15, 2005:
Aluminium Cast House Technology 2005
Edited by John A. Taylor, Ian F. Bainbridge and John F. Grandfield; approximately 277 pages
Of particular interest to cast house engineers, managers, suppliers and researchers, these proceedings present industry developments in cost reduction, improved product quality, and new products through research and development. Major topics covered include industry trends and profiles; safety and environment; reduction and cast house interface; DC casting; ingot casting and foundry alloys; furnace technology; degassing; and filtration and inclusions.
All these publications may be purchased through the TMS Document Center at http://doc.tms.org or by calling TMS at (724) 776-9000 or (800) 759-4TMS.
