Publisher's Synopsis
Materials processing is an important and essential step in the production of useful products, and is one of the major wealth-generating activities. With the increasing demand for the production of high precision, high integrity and high density devices and systems in modern life, materials processing has become more important than ever before. Following on from the previous eight publications in the series, "Asia-Pacific Conference on Materials Processing", this volume presents the latest developments in this field, and a new understanding of the underlying mechanisms.
