Materials processing fundamentals : proceedings of a symposium sponsored by the TMS Process Technology and Modeling Committee and Extraction and Processing Division ; held during the TMS 2013 annual meeting & exhibition San Antonio Texas USA March 3 7 2013 Materials Processing Fundamentals provides researchers and industry professionals with complete guidance on the synthesis analysis design monitoring and control of metals materials and metallurgical processes and phenomena. Along with the fundamentals it covers modeling of diverse phenomena in processes involving iron steel non ferrous metals and composites. It also goes on to examine second phase particles in metals novel sensors for hostile environment materials processes online sampling and analysis techniques and models for real time process control and quality monitoring systems.
