Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A publishes 8 papers from TKM-2013 workshop

Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A publishes a total of eight papers from TKM-2013 workshop in its Issue 4, April 2014. The selected papers (see list below), starting with a review in phase-field modeling of polycrystalline solidification, principally appear in order consistently with the conference topics, i.e., thermodynamics, kinetics, microstructure, and applications in design/control.

TKM-2013 workshop was held at IMDEA Materials Institute past June 3 & 4, 2013. The symposium was co-organized by Prof. José Manuel Torralba and Dr. Yuwen Cui.
