Processing-Structure-Property Relationships in Metals

<p>In the industrial manufacturing of metals the achievement of products featuring desired characteristics always requires the control of process parameters in order to obtain a suitable microstructure. The strict relationship among process parameters microstructure and mechanical properties is a matter of interest in different areas such as foundry plastic forming sintering welding etc. and regards both well-established and innovative processes.</p><p>Nowadays circular economy and sustainable technological development are dominant paradigms and impose an optimized use of resources a lower energetic impact of industrial processes and new tasks for materials and products. In this frame this Special Issue covers a broad range of research works and contains research and review papers.</p>
