This is the first book in a new series - "Materials Research and
Engineering" - devoted to the science and technology of materials.
"Materials Research and Engineering" evolves from a previous series
on "Reine und Angewand te Metallkunde" ("Pure and Applied
Metallurgy"), which was edited by Werner Koster until his eightieth
birthday in 1976. Although the present series is an outgrowth of
the earlier one, it should not and cannot be regarded as a
continuation. There had to be a shift of scope - and a change in
presentation as well. Metallurgy is no longer an isolated art and
science. Rather, it is linked by its scientific basis and tech
nological implications to non-metallic and composite materials, as
well as to processes for production, refining, shaping, surface
treatment, and appli cation. Thus, the new series, "Materials
Research and Engineering," will present up-to-date information on
scientific and technological progress, as well as on issues of
general relevance within the engineering field and industrial
society. Premiering the new series, the present book by Dieter
Altenpohl gives the reader a very general outlook, in fact, a
position analysis of materials and the materials industry within
the framework of our contemporary technological environment. It
ventures, moreover, to forecast the changes affecting this pattern
in a dynamic, interdependent world. This may be an unusual way to
start a scientific series - it is believed, nevertheless, to be an
appropriate one."
