A major goal of materials science is to create new engineering materials and optimize their cost and performance. Understanding how adjacent materials behave at their borders is an essential part of this process. Grain boundaries are the longest-known crystal defects, but although they were discovered in the mid-eighteenth century, until quite rece

Encompassing the concepts, practice, and application of orientation analysis, Introduction to Texture Analysis is an essential reference source for reserachers in textiles. The author uses an accessible style to share her expertise, providing comprehensive coverage of the theory and practice of the texture techniques now available and discusses the

The International Symposium was organized to capture the state of our knowledge on the science and technology of interfaces. The Symposium (in honor of Dr. B. B. Rath) was held during the TMS Annual meeting, Feb 17-21, 2002 at Seattle WA. This volume captures the salient papers presented at the symposium. The symposium was sponsored by the Structural Materials Division and the Electronic, Magnetic & Photonic Materials Division of TMS and the Materials Science Critical Technology Sector of ASM International and in particular by the following committees: the Physical Metallurgy Committee (TMS), the Superconducting Materials Committee (TMS), the Titanium Committee (TMD) and the Mechanical Behavior of Materials Committee (TMS/ASM). The objective of this symposium was to present current research on advanced interface controlled materials with primary focus on advanced materials. Special attention was given to design of such interface controlled materials with their unique and highly desirable properties. The symposium was designed to assess the current status and to identify future directions of research, design and applications of the role of interfaces in nanostructured bulk solids, films and coatings as well as polycrystalline superconducting materials. Particular emphasis was placed on developing close interactions and fostering future collaborations among scientists and engineers from the USA, Western and Eastern Europe, Russia, and other Asian countries.
