Materials processing is an important and essential process for the formation of usable products. It is one of the major wealth-generating activities that create the economic basis for genuine improvements in the quality of human life. With the increasing requirements for the production of high precision, high integrity and high density devices and systems in our modern life, materials processing has become more important than ever before. Following the previous eight publications for the series of "Asia-Pacific Conference on Materials Processing", this book presents the latest development in this field on new understanding of the underlying mechanisms and new technologies for materials processing to meet the increasing needs of industry.
