| Abstract: | A critical step in the manufacturing sequence of industrial components, hot deformation processing gives the required shape and imparts the desired microstructure to the material. Since this in turn controls the mechanical properties, hot deformation is a hot topic among researchers from multiple disciplines involved in manufacturing. Part 1 of this special issue features 24 peer-reviewed papers written by top scientists and engineers from all over the world. You'll learn about the latest advances in the high-temperature deformation processing of materials as it relates to: Superplastic deformation; 18 percent Nickel maraging steels; Magnesium alloy composites; Stainless steels, aluminum, magnesium, titanium, and zirconium alloys; Diffusion bonding; Creep of single crystals; Constitutive relationships. |
