| Description: | Magnesium alloys are among the most promising ecomaterials for various high-tech applications in the 21st Century. This 2-volume set comprises the proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Platform Science and Technology for Advanced Magnesium Alloys (PSTAM 2003). The papers cover a wide spread of perspectives on the academic fundamentals, and industrial applications, of magnesium alloys. The topics discussed include: (1) Fatigue and mechanical properties of magnesium alloys and detailed investigations of their microstructural evolution. (2) Plastic forming, as well as relevant alloy development, considered with particular regard to high-temperature properties. (3) Various ongoing developments in the fields of melting and casting, which are carefully described with the stress being placed on recycling design and processes. (4) Non-equilibrium processing, which is a hot topic in the drive to open up a new frontier in the field of advanced magnesium alloys. (5) Composite design, as weighted towards the search for new applications. (6) Corrosion and surface modification, with regard to modifying the weak points of magnesium alloys and improving their corrosion and wear resistance. (7) A new functionality which is greatly expected to widen the possible extension of intrinsic functionality to magnesium alloys and compounds.
