These proceedings examine the most recent advances and bestpractices in structural materials selection, design, andmanufacturing for producing affordable components, with a focus ontitanium, aluminum, and other advanced metallic materials. Thisvolume discusses melting, casting, powder metallurgy, forging,forming, extrusion, and machining, as well as processing advances,innovative processing techniques, process modeling and materials bydesign, and new alloys, as well as relatedprocessing-microstructure-properties-performance-cost studies. Thisbook can be purchased either on CD-ROM, or portable document format(PDF). PDF and CD-ROM books can be viewed using the free AdobeAcrobat Reader Program on Windows, Macintosh, Unix, and othersystems. Access Acrobat Reader through the TMS Document Center atdoc.tms.org. PDF and CD-ROM books are completelytext-searchable, allowing users to locate important informationquickly by typing in key words.A collection of papers from the 2002 TMS Annual Meeting andExhibition held in Seattle, Washington, February 17-21, 2002.
