From the TMS 2003 Annual Meeting & Exhibition symposium honoring the life's work of Professor Akira Yazawa, this book, the first 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 materials processing fundamentals and new technologies. 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.

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.

Papers in this volume reveal new and improved technologies for nonferrous materials extraction and processing. Symposia highlighted from the Sohn International Symposium include nonferrous high temperature processing; materials processing; and nano, ceramic and composite materials processing. From the 2006 TMS Fall Extraction & Processing: Sohn International Symposium, held August 27 - 31, 2006, in San Diego, California.

These proceedings on industrial practice from the Sohn International Symposium contain papers on metals and materials processing; iron making; nonferrous high temperature processing; steel; and aqueous and electrochemical processing. From the 2006 TMS Fall Extraction & Processing: Sohn International Symposium, held August 27 - 31, 2006, in San Diego, California.

The Sohn International Symposium in 2006 incorporated the fourth international symposium on sulfide smelting. This volume is dedicated to presentations made at the sulfide smelting symposium, covering sessions on sulfur and gas handling; smelter projects; technologies and recent developments; and analysis and optimizations. From the 2006 TMS Fall Extraction & Processing: Sohn International Symposium, held August 27 - 31, 2006, in San Diego, California.
