Publisher's Synopsis
These proceedings address recent progress in theoretical andexperimental studies of hot deformation of aluminum alloys.Technical papers from fundamental research and industrialapplications cover such topics as hot deformation mechanisms,evolution of grain structure, texture, precipitates, and damage inthermomechanical processes including rolling, extrusion, forging,superplastic forming, friction stir welding, severe plasticdeformation forming, hydroforming, and semi-solid forming. Thedesign and optimization of thermomechanical processes andmicrostructure using fundamental understanding, development ofmodels, and computer simulation are also addressed.
A collection of papers from the 2003 TMS Annual Meeting andExhibition, which was held in San Diego, California, March 2-6,2003.
