FOREWORD
These are the proceedings of the symposium on "High Performance Metallic Materials For Cost
Sensitive Applications" held as part of the TMS Annual Meeting in Seattle, WA, February 18-21,
2002. The editors of these proceedings were also the organizers of the symposium, with Dr. E.
Chen as the chief organizer.
The three most important industries in driving technological changes, national security consider-
ations, and economic advances are information/communication systems (computers), biotechnol-
ogy and advanced materials and processes. Of these three, advanced materials and processes are
the most far-reaching and vital to advances in the other two fields. Advanced materials are charac-
terized by enhanced mechanical and physical characteristics compared to traditional materials,
such as aluminum and steel, currently manufactured in large-volume assembly line production.
These attributes either allow for significant improvements in product or device performance or, of
perhaps even greater importance, allow for new technologies that are unachievable using the tradi-
tional materials. However, there is another feature of advanced materials - they are almost always
more expensive than conventional materials. It is this aspect of lightweight metallic materials,
which is addressed in the papers contained in these proceedings.
The opening overview paper, by the editors, attempts to present a broad view of the role of ad-
vanced processing in the development of light weight metallic materials with the focus on the cost-
effectiveness of the processes discussed. The remainder of the papers are divided into the three
categories of lightweight metals, titanium, and intermetallics, and the processing routes presented
include vapor deposition, laser processing, plasma spraying, gas atomizing, cold spray, rapid so-
lidification, injection molding, mechanical alloying, extrusion, superplastic forming, joining, and
casting.
The organizers of this symposium, would like to thank everyone who helped make the event a
success and particularly the session chairmen, the presenters, the authors of the 25 papers repro-
duced here and Steve Kendall of TMS who coordinated these proceedings.
