Engineering Community in Egypt is presenting this symposium in the Honour of 2Pu>£. ^.31. Jlammad Chairman. Atomic Energy Authority On his 60th Birthday Anniversary In recognition of his outstanding record and his sustained effort in promoting educational, RSiD and industrial activities in the field of materials science and engineering at the Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority as well as universities, research institutions and industry. Prof. Hammad contributed to the education of fundamentals of materials science in several Egyptian univerisites and his students ranged from physicists and chemists to metallurgical, chemical, nuclear, mechanical and electrical engineers. A good number of these students are holding prominent academic and industrial posts in Egypt and on the international level. Several RSiD activities and programmes in various areas of materials science and engineering >> the AEA and elsewhere in Egypt haw been of his initiation and/or enjoying a great share of his contribi.'.ion. This has been published in national and international journals in more than one hundred publications. Prof. Hammad have always preached for and practically contributed to the interaction between academic institutions and industry and also to promoting approaches to develop materials strategies in Egypt. i SAMS 94 CHAIRMAN: PROFESSOR F.H.

SYMPOSIUM ON ADVANCES IN MATERIALS SCIENCE SAMS-94 DEAR GUESTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD LADIES AND GENTLEMEN IT GIVES ME A GREAT PLEASURE TO WELCOME YOU IN EGYPT ON THE OCCASION OF THE INAGURATION OF THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ADVANCES IN MATERIALS SCIENCE SAMS-94. WE ARE HONOURED AND PREVILAGED TO HAVE WITH US THIS GATHERING OF MORE THAN FORTY DISTINGUISHED SCIENTISTS REPRESENTING UNIVERSITIES AND RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS OF 17 COUNTRIES FROM NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA. EUROPE, ASIA AND AFRICA. THE TOPICS ADDRESSED IN THIS SYMPOSIUM REPRESENT THE MOST RECENT ADVANCES IN SPECIAL MATERIALS COVERING CERAMICS. COMPOSITES, SUPERCONDUCTORS, SUPERALLOYS, - viii - HIGH TEMP. MATERIALS AS WELL AS SYNTHESIZED AND MODIFIED SURFACES. THESE ARE JUST EXAMPLES IN THE VITAL AND RAPIDLY DEVELOPING .AREA OF ADVANCED MATERIALS. THE INTERACTION WITH THE RECENT ADVANCES IN THE MATERIALS SCIENCE THROUGH HOLDING SYMPOSIA OF THIS TYPE, ATTRACTING SCIENTISTS AND EXPERTS OF THIS HIGH CALIBER SHALL HOPEFULLY HELP TO COPE WITH CHALLENGES TO DEVELOP MANY INDUSTRIES. THIS INCLUDES ENERGY INDUSTRIES : CLASSICAL, NUCLEAR AND RENEWABLE, IN ADDITION TO METALLURGICAL, CHEMICAL AND PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRIES. I AM AWARE ALSO THAT YOUR SYMPOSIUM IS DEVOTING SESSIONS TO DISCUSSING THE STRATEGY OF METAL INDUSTRIES IN EGYPT AND I AM SURE THAT THE PARTICIPATION OF THIS OUTSTANDING FOREIGN EXPERIENCE WILL BE VERY BENEFICIAL ONCE AGAIN I WELCOME YOU IN OUR COUNTRY AND WISH YOU A SUCCESSFUL MEETING AND A PLEASANT STAY IN EGYPT. - IX - Firnt International Spring School & Symposium on Advances in Material Science (SAMS 94) Cairo, 15 • 20 March 1994 PREFACE It gives me a great pleasure to introduce these valuable proceedings to the scientific community in the field of materials science in Egypt and in the world at large. These two volumes embody invited lectures and research papers from distinguished scientists in various disciplines of advanced materials representing reputed research institutions and universities all over the world. These scientists gathered in Cairo to contribute to this First International Spring School and Symposium on Advances in Materials Science (SAMS 94) in celebration of the 60th birthday of the AEA ex-chairman Prof. F.H. Hammad, a distinguished materials scientist. It gave the AEA a great honour to host this distinguished group of scientists, who contributed to the success of the symposium through their presentations and discussions, and who generously displayed their experience in vital advanced fields of materials science. This covered areas like composites, ceramics, powder metallurgy, superalloys, solid state chemistry, superconductivity.... etc. 1 would like to thank all contributors to the success of the symposium; the scientific committee, guest scientists from all over the world and local participants. I would also like to thank all members of the organizing committee, who worked extremely hard for almost one year to make this international event a real success. The effort given in the editing of these proceedings is greatly appreciated. y^Ut F fi\ Prof. H.F.
