Solidification Processes and Microstructures: A Symposium in Honor of Wilfried Kurz

This book contains papers on topics that range from experimental and theoretical investigations of microstructural aspects to processes such as continuous casting of steel and aluminum, directional solidification, single-crystal growth, laser-surface treatment, laser welding, and laser-metal forming. A valuable reference that reports the state-of-the-art in the field of solidification, this book will appeal to both engineers in solidification research and those in the metal-casting industry.

From 2004 TMS Annual Meeting to be held in Charlotte, North Carolina, March 14-18, 2004.
