Preface

摘要

The key interest areas to be covered in the symposium of Materials Processing Fundamentals are all aspects of the fundamentals, synthesis, analysis, design, monitoring, and control of metals, materials, and metallurgical processes and phenomena. Topics will include: 1. The experimental, analytical, physical and computer modeling of physical chemistry and thermodynamics 2. Transport phenomena in materials and metallurgical processes involving iron, steel, non-ferrous metals, and composites 3. Second phase particles in metals and processes, such as non-metallic inclusions and bubbles in metals (steel, aluminum, silicon, magnesium, etc.) or gas bubbles in slag or electrolyte (foaming, gas evolution, or injection); the fundamentals (experimental studies or theoretical studies) on the nucleation, growth, motion and removal of these second phase particles from the molten metal or reactors.
