Metastable, Mechanically Alloyed And Nanocrystalline Materials: Ismanam- 2003; Proceedings of the 10th International Symposium on Metastable, Mechanically ... and Nanocrystalline Materials, 1422-63)

This volume comprises the proceedings of the 10th International Symposium on Metastable, Mechanically Alloyed and Nanocrystalline Materials, 2003. ISMANAM-2003 was held in Foz do Iguacu, Brazil, from the 24th to the 28th August 2003. Among the various topics covered during the symposium, many contributions were in the fields of bulk metallic glasses and bulk nanocrystalline materials: including thermodynamics, transformation kinetics, detailed characterization during structural evolution, and mechanical properties. Other major contributions were in the area of the synthesis and processing of metallic alloys, intermetallics, oxides, nano- and other composites by using various techniques including mechanosynthesis, mechanochemistry and severe plastic deformation. The mechanical, magnetic and electrochemical properties of metastable and nanocrystalline materials were also covered in many papers; with a special focus on applications. As in previous symposia, ISMANAM 2003 provided a state-of-the-art overview of research activities and technological developments highlighting the most recent achievements in these fields. This latest addition to the invaluable conference series will therefore be essential reading for anyone wishing to keep up with the progress made in these rapidly advancing subjects.
