This book explores the principles of supply-side structural reform
and current practices in the Chinese steel industry. Focusing on
the general requirements for high-quality development, it reviews
the evolution of the global and Chinese steel industries with
regard to reduction, innovation, and transformation. It also
summarizes industrial development law from a transfer route
perspective, analyzes major challenges and opportunities for the
steel industry in the new era, and proposes strategic orientation
and implementation measures for the future development of the steel
industry. The book contends that high-quality development of the
steel industry must be driven by innovation, and it is essential to
promote integrated development based on several aspects -
greenness, coordination, quality, standardization, differentiation,
service, intelligence, diversification, and internationalization -
in order to reshape the industrial value chain and continuously
improve industrial competitiveness. This concept is essential to
help Chinese steel companies prepare development plans for
transformation and upgrading. Combining thorough analysis, unique
insights, and many practical cases, the book offers a guide to and
inspiration for future implementation approaches.

The Extraction and Refining of Metals provides a novel approach to
the science and technology of both ferrous and non-ferrous metal
production. Rather than the traditional treatment in which one
metal at a time is considered, this new approach, which examines
several metals at a time, reveals more clearly the versatility and
limitations of each of the main types of process. The restrictions
imposed on the selection of the process routes by thermodynamic and
kinetic factors and by economic and environmental constraints are
examined in detail. The conservation of energy and materials is
emphasized and illustrated by the description of new and improved
extraction methods.
The types of mathematical models that are being developed for
computer control of production operations are indicated, and worked
examples demonstrate relevant thermodynamic and mass balance
calculations.

Written by the inventors and leading experts of this new field, the
book results from the International Symposium on "Atomic Switch:
Invention, Practical use and Future Prospects" which took place in
Tsukuba, Japan on March 27th - 28th, 2017. The book chapters cover

This volume discusses the great potential of metal nanoparticle
catalysts for complicated molecular synthesis and reviews the
current progress of this field. The development of highly active
and stable heterogeneous catalysts is a crucial subject in modern
science. However, development of heterogeneous catalysts for fine
chemical synthesis has lagged far behind those for bulk chemical
process. In recent years metal nanoparticle catalysts have been of
great interest in this area due to their unique activity, ease of
heterogenization, and robustness. Therefore, metal nanoparticle
catalysts are an excellent candidate for the above-mentioned active
and robust heterogeneous catalysts and this book provides an
overview of this area. The present volume summarizes recent
progress on nanoparticle catalysis for various organic
transformations from simple redox reactions to complex asymmetric
C-C bond forming reactions and also presents seminal studies on new
technologies. It comprehensively summarizes advances in metal
nanoparticle catalysis across several aspects including reaction
manners, mechanistic investigations and new synthetic methodologies
to encourage the use of metal nanoparticle catalysts for future
organic synthesis. This volume will be of interest to students,
researchers and professionals focused on the next-generation of
fine chemical synthesis.
This textbook offers a strong introduction to the fundamental
concepts of materials science. It conveys the quintessence of this
interdisciplinary field, distinguishing it from merely solid-state
physics and solid-state chemistry, using metals as model systems to
elucidate the relation between microstructure and materials
properties. Mittemeijer's Fundamentals of Materials Science
provides a consistent treatment of the subject matter with a
special focus on the microstructure-property relationship. Richly
illustrated and thoroughly referenced, it is the ideal adoption for
an entire undergraduate, and even graduate, course of study in
materials science and engineering. It delivers a solid background
against which more specialized texts can be studied, covering the
necessary breadth of key topics such as crystallography, structure
defects, phase equilibria and transformations, diffusion and
kinetics, and mechanical properties. The success of the first
edition has led to this updated and extended second edition,
featuring detailed discussion of electron microscopy,
supermicroscopy and diffraction methods, an extended treatment of
diffusion in solids, and a separate chapter on phase transformation
kinetics. "In a lucid and masterly manner, the ways in which the
microstructure can affect a host of basic phenomena in metals are
described.... By consistently staying with the postulated topic of
the microstructure - property relationship, this book occupies a
singular position within the broad spectrum of comparable materials
science literature .... it will also be of permanent value as a
reference book for background refreshing, not least because of its
unique annotated intermezzi; an ambitious, remarkable work." G.
Petzow in International Journal of Materials Research. "The biggest
strength of the book is the discussion of the structure-property
relationships, which the author has accomplished admirably.... In a
nutshell, the book should not be looked at as a quick 'cook book'
type text, but as a serious, critical treatise for some significant
time to come." G.S. Upadhyaya in Science of Sintering. "The role of
lattice defects in deformation processes is clearly illustrated
using excellent diagrams . Included are many footnotes,
'Intermezzos', 'Epilogues' and asides within the text from the
author's experience. This ..... soon becomes valued for the
interesting insights into the subject and shows the human side of
its history. Overall this book provides a refreshing treatment of
this important subject and should prove a useful addition to the
existing text books available to undergraduate and graduate
students and researchers in the field of materials science." M.
Davies in Materials World.

formation mechanisms and preventive procedures of welding defects,
and process monitoring and adaptive control are especially
emphasized, because understanding these aspects of laser welding
greatly improves the performance of work and research and solves
many problems in the field. Finally, the book shows how
increasingly widespread use of a variety of materials is bringing
major advances to laser welding.
