This volume includes contributions on the physical and numerical modeling of materials processing, and covers a range of metals and minerals. Authors present models and results related to the basics of processing such as extraction, joining, separation, and casting. The corresponding fundamentals of mass and heat transport as well as physical and thermodynamics properties are addressed, allowing for a cross-disciplinary vision of the field.

This volume covers various aspects of the fundamentals, synthesis, analysis, design, monitoring, and control of metals, materials, and metallurgical processes and phenomena. Topics represented include but are not limited to:

• Experimental, analytical, physical, and computer modeling of physical chemistry and thermodynamics

• Modeling of the transport phenomena in materials processing and metallurgical processes involving iron, steel, nonferrous metals, and composites

• Second-phase particles in metals and processes and the fundamentals (experimental studies or theoretical studies) on the nucleation, growth, motion, and removal of these particles from the molten metal or reactors

• Physical chemistry, thermodynamics, and kinetics for the production and refining of rare-earth metals

• Control of industrial processes in the field of extraction and processing of metals and materials

•        Use of artificial intelligence or big data in the control or optimization of industrial processes

•        Modelling or optimization of recycle streams and scrap loops

•        Measurement and control in hostile environments

•        Modeling transport phenomena in materials processing and metallurgical processes involving iron, steel, nonferrous metals, and composites

•        Thermodynamics, kinetics, and physical chemistry of materials processes and modelling thereof
