I blogged this item with a colleague's project in mind "Writing elementary materials science lectures"
The topics in this blog are up-to-date subjects, images are good but for educational material I believe our college and fellow IOM3 member will bring the necessary underlying scientific principles to light/
Anyway here is the blog link which may also be found by scrolling right down to the very foot of my page...
Metallurgy for dummies
I shall be pleased to pass on any further information on such approaches to our fellow materials science colleague.
Good luck and best wishes to all contributors

Maney Publishing - Journal-of-the-month-Canadian Metallurgical Quarterly_FREE PAPERS
Let me bring to the attention of my colleagues in "The Global Community of Metallurgists, Chemical Engineers and Materials Scientists", this new introductory offer of free papers (3 years of CMQ online to read or download) courtesy of our IOM3 joint publisher
Maney journal-of-the-month- Canadian Metallurgical Quarterly(cmq)For example I personally downloaded today a few papers from the April 2011 edition concerning corrosion of carbon steels using nanoindentation , thermal barrier coatings, superalloys to mention but my first rapid perusal. I also downloaded some golden oldies from the Key paper archive on the Maney site:FREE MATERIALS LINK

Moore's Law and beyond _ Where Semiconductor Science is going_Interdisciplinary Public and Private Partnership Funded Projects in the Semiconductor Field
The joint NSF-NRI grants were awarded to the following projects in nanoelectronics research and can be viewed in detail at the accompanying links:
• Scalable Sensing, Storage and Computation with a Rewritable Oxide Nanoelectronics Platform, directed by Jeremy Levy at University of Pittsburgh.
• Integrated Biological and Electronic Computation at the Nanoscale, directed by Timothy Lu at MIT.
• Developing a Graphene Spin Computer: Materials, Nano-Devices, Modeling, and Circuits, directed by Roland Kawakami at University of California at Riverside.
• Meta-Capacitance and Spatially Periodic Electronic Excitation Devices (MC-SPEEDs), directed by Jonathan Spanier at Drexel University.
• Hybrid Spintronics and Straintronics: New Technology for Ultra-Low Energy Computing and Signal Processing Beyond the Year 2020, directed by Supriyo Bandyopadhyay at Virginia Commonwealth University.
• Charge-Density-Wave Computational Fabric: New State Variables and Alternative Material Implementation, directed by Alexander Balandin at University of California at Riverside.
• Ultimate Electronic Device Scaling Using Structurally Precise Graphene Nanoribbons, directed by Paulette Clancy at Cornell University.
• Nanoelectronics with Mixed-valence Molecular QCA, directed by Craig Lent at University of Notre Dame.
• Scalable Perpendicular All-Spin Non-Volatile Logic Devices and Circuits with Hybrid Interconnection, directed by Jian-Ping Wang at University of Minnesota at Twin Cities.
• Physics-Inspired Non-Boolean Computation Based on Spatial-Temporal Wave Excitations, directed by Wolfgang Porod at University of Notre Dame.
• Novel Quantum Switches Using Heterogeneous Atomically Layered Nanostructures, directed by Philip Kim at Columbia University.
• Superlattice-FETs, Gamma-L-FETs and Tunnel-FETs: Materials, Circuits and Devices for Fast, Ultra-Low Power, directed by Mark Rodwell at University of California at Santa Barbara.
These 12 NSF-NRI joint grants expand and strengthen the commitment to this public-private partnership program, which is in its sixth year.
NSF Divisions participating in this competition are the Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems (ECCS) in the Directorate for Engineering, the Division of Materials Research (DMR) and the Division of Chemistry (CHE) in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, and the Division of Computing and Communications Foundations (CCF) in the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering,
Companies participating in NRI are GLOBALFOUNDRIES, IBM, Intel Corporation, Micron Technology and Texas Instruments. These companies assign researchers to interact with the university teams. This kind of university-industry engagement will be instrumental in order for NRI to reach its goal of demonstrating the feasibility of novel computing devices in simple computer circuits during the next five to 10 years.

Foresight-Hindsight in Materials Science and Engineering _Project Portfolio Management
Following my last post “ Selection Criteria for Research Project Funding,” 8 Sept. 2011, let us continue our “Foresight –Hindsight” (marketing) exercise using a short presentation using a modified BCG matrix (4 squares)or GE/McKinsey matrix(9 squares) chart
The chart which I wish to draw to the attention of my metallurgical and materials scientist friends, members of The Institute was originally published in Materials World and archived in my personal files for more than a decade. Cf. Image 1 below. It is a nine square GE/McKinsey matrix.
-Areas of Attractiveness are represented by 3 colums- (vertical axis): 1. Emerging,2. Intermediate and 3. Key priority areas, of increasing attractiveness 1 to 3.
-Areas of Feasibility are represented by position on the horizontal axis : increasing feasibility from left to right.
Within this matrix the upper most right hand square is magnified and again divided into another 9 square matrix, “Attractiveness versus Feasibility”. Such a process both shows how this approach can be usefully refined while pragmatically bringing focus to the necessary couple, Key Priorities which are Feasible. Clear objectives can be given and so motivation increased. The challenges of the research for excellence are respected and the likelihood of impact in appropriate areas increased.
The presentation allows the representation of 9 blocks IE GE/McKinsey presentation.
The arc through the intermediate and emerging themes draws attention to the fact that the most-attractive and desireable does not always correspond to the most feasible.
Many of the themes presented in the previous post "Selection Criteria for Research Funding" EPSRC 2010 - 2013 have previously figured in the BCG - GE/McKinsey Matrix approach established at least a decade earlier (Image 1) An attempt to show this continuing preoccupation with certain themes is shown in the table below in bold characters. One reason for this is the wide nature of themes cf previous post headings:
THREE WIDE FOCUS THEMES TO IMPACT UPON.
THREE STRATEGIC GOALS.
SIX GLOBAL RESEARCH CHALLENGES to be ADDRESSED
