From the TMS 2003 Annual Meeting & Exhibition symposium honoring the life's work of Professor Akira Yazawa, this book, the second in a three-volume collection, discusses recent developments in the physical chemistry of metallurgical processes and physicochemical principles involved in materials processing, with a focus on the production of high-temperature metals. This volume is part of a three-volume set. You may purchase any volume individual or you may purchase the entire three-volume set in its entirety as listed below: Three-Volume Set: Metallurgical and Materials Processing Principles and Technologies (Yazawa International Symposium) Volume 1: Materials Processing Fundamentals and New Technologies Volume 2: High-Temperature Metal Production Volume 3: Aqueous and Electrochemical Processing A collection of papers from the 2003 TMS Annual Meeting and Exhibition, which was held in San Diego, California, March 2-6, 2003.

Treatise on Process Metallurgy: Volume Four, Industrial Production provides academics with the fundamentals of the manufacturing of metallic materials, from raw materials into finished parts or products. In these fully updated volumes, coverage is expanded into four volumes, including Process Fundamentals, encompassing process fundamentals, structure and properties of matter; thermodynamic aspects of process metallurgy, and rate phenomena in process metallurgy; Processing Phenomena, encompassing interfacial phenomena in high temperature metallurgy, metallurgical process phenomena, and metallurgical process technology; Metallurgical Processes, encompassing mineral processing, aqueous processing, electrochemical material and energy processes, and iron and steel technology, non-ferrous process principles and production technologies, and more. The work distills the combined academic experience from the principal editor and the multidisciplinary four-member editorial board. Provides the entire breadth of process metallurgy in a single work Includes in-depth knowledge in all key areas of process metallurgy Approaches the topic from an interdisciplinary perspective, providing broad range coverage on topics

This volume focuses on proceedings from the Sohn International Symposium on thermo- and physicochemical-principles of nonferrous high temperature processing. Topics include kinetics; thermodynamics; thermodynamics and physical properties; waste treatment; and recycling and recovery. From the 2006 TMS Fall Extraction & Processing: Sohn International Symposium, held August 27-31, 2006, in San Diego, California.

Devoted to the iron and steel making sessions at the Sohn International Symposium, this volume covers alternative routes, blast furnace coke and coal; liquid steel processing and reactors; thermodynamics and kinetics; inclusions and steel cleanliness; casting; and modeling and processing. From the 2006 TMS Fall Extraction & Processing: Sohn International Symposium, held August 27 - 31, 2006, in San Diego, California.
