6. WELCOME FROM THE CONVENORS
As co-chairs, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to CAMS2014.
The Combined Australian Materials Societies 2014 meeting is the third time that the Australian Ceramic Society
and Materials Australia have held their biannual joint meeting (formerly Materials & Austceram).
We are pleased to welcome the delegates who have contributed over 290 abstracts to this meeting. This year,
we have selected the venue for this and its satellite events as The University of Sydney. We are very happy to
have secured the new Charles Perkins Centre as the centrepiece of these activities and we hope that you are as
impressed as we are with the infrastructure and surroundings.
CAMS2014 features upwards of two dozen symposia that have been selected to target the latest activities
in materials developments, largely in metals and ceramics. Although this meeting was designed to focus on
Australian progress in materials, we have been pleasantly surprised to see a fair amount of international interest
in this meeting as well.
We thank sponsors, the symposium chairs, the organising committee and of course the delegates for helping to
make this meeting both a technical and financial success. We are delighted with the program, and feel confident
that you will come away from this meeting with the sense that the time and effort that you have devoted to this
conference have been well spent.

7. WELCOME FROM THE SOCIETIES
CAMS 2014
The Australian Ceramic Society (ACS) is proud to
co-host the 3rd Combined Australian Materials
Societies Conference, CAMS2014.
This conference is a forum for experts to discuss new
scientific and technological developments in the
exciting fields of ceramics and materials. Including
world-renowned invited speakers, an intensive scien-
tific program featuring five concurrent streams, and
exciting social events – this is the premium event on
the Australian materials calendar. It is an innovative
program that reflects the multi-disciplinary nature
of ceramics. CAMS2014 is targeted at engineers and
scientists from all walks of like. Special focus has been
directed towards younger professionals and students .
Our program includes plenary and multi-concurrent
sessions, keynote lectures and poster sessions. It is a
pleasure to acknowledge the tremendous efforts of the
co-organizers of CAMS; A/Prof Julie Cairney (University
of Sydney) and Prof Charles C Sorrell (University of New
South Wales) who have led a dedicated Conference
Committee and a team of Symposia Chairs to create an
exciting and stimulating program.
Finally, as the President of the Australian Ceramic
Society and on behalf of our Federal Council and all
ACS Members, let me sincerely welcome you to Sydney
for this wonderful opportunity to meet colleagues and
expand your professional network within the frame-
work of ceramics and materials. Enjoy your stay in
Sydney!
Prof. Chris Berndt
President, ACS
Swinburne University of Technology
As National President and on behalf of the
National Council of Materials Australia,
I’d like to warmly welcome you to CAMS2014.
Today we are witnessing a new revolution in the use
of materials driven in part by the need to reduce
the rate of climate change, improvements in health,
commercial innovation and productivity. Materials
Australia members have a wide and varied experi-
ence from working with light alloys, new metals to
ceramics and composites. MA has emerged from a
historical collection of metallurgists to the current day
covering a diverse mix of materials related proficien-
cies. In this light, the collaboration of the Australian
Ceramic Society and Materials Australia to jointly run
CAMS2014 makes perfect sense.
Looking through the technical program reveals a
wealth of global and domestic participants from such
a diverse range of materials. The participants come
from both industry and academia and cover fields
from manufacturing through to bio-engineering. It
constantly amazes me how conferences such as this
conference spin off many alternate ideas and projects
by incorporating an idea from another field or by using
a material developed for one use in an entirely novel
or atypical way.
I encourage you to mix, mingle and network, and get
the most out of CAMS2014.

President, Materials Australia

In the past decade, the extraordianry mechanical behavior
of submicron sized single crystal metals has attracted
interests of researchers throughout the world. In this talk,
I will review our recent progress in this field. We found
that single crystal pillars fabricated through focused ion
beam always contain high density of defects[1-4]
. However,
if the sample size is small enough, both face-centered-
cubic and body-centered-cubic metal pillars can experi-
ence ‘‘mechanical annealing,’’ i.e., a phenomena referring
to the reduction of dislocation density in the deforming
volume, when dislocation generation is outweighed by
dislocation annihilation through the free surface [1-2]
. Most
recently, we found that low amplitude cyclic straining
can be used to eliminate those preexisting dislocations
in submicron-sized single crystal aluminum samples at a
stress level much lower than the critical stress necessary
to activate them under monotonic loading.
For hexagonal-close-packed metals, we found that when
the sample size was reduced below 1000 nm or so,
stress saturation and deformation mechanism transition
occurred in a single crystal Ti alloy [3]
. Most interestingly,
our study on single crystal pure magnesium found that
when submicron-sized samples were compressed normal to
its prismatic plane, the reorientation of the parent lattice
produced a new orientational relationship akin to that
of conventional twinning, but without a crystallographic
mirror plane. In addition, the migration of the boundary
between the parent lattice and newly formed crystal is
dominated by the movement of the semicoherent basal/
prismatic interfaces undergoing basal/prismatic transfor-
mation via unit cell reconstruction. This newly discov-
ered deformation mode is different from the well known
dislocation or twinning mediated plasticity and therefore
broadens the known mechanisms of plasticity [4]
.

Precipitation in steels can play a number of roles in
controlling the microstructure evolution and final prop-
erties. During the reheating prior to processing precip-
itates control the size and distribution of the austenite
grains. During high temperature processing this extends
to controlling the grain growth after recrystallization.
However, one of the most potent effects in during the
processing in the austenite phase field is the control of
recrystallization through strain induced precipitation.
Such precipitate can eliminate recrystallization leading
to pancaking of the austenite grains which then leads
to extensive grain refinement on transformation. During
or after transformation precipitates can then form in
the ferrite to provide further strengthening. In this
work key aspects of the precipitation behaviour in both
the austenite and ferrite have been studied using high
resolution TEM and 3D atom probe tomography.
The word genome, when applied in non-biological
contexts, connotes a fundamental building block toward
a larger purpose [1]
. In this presentation, the three
years of progress of the Materials Genome Initiative
(MGI) is reviewed in terms of concerted national efforts
in the USA, followed by the author’s experience and
perspective on the topic. The MGI emphasizes the inte-
gration of computational and experimental toolsets in
data creation, management, and sharing along with
data analysis tools in analogy with those of Human
Genome Project, It is argued that the materials genome
is encoded in the language of CALPHAD databases [2]
, in
which the properties of individual phases are modeled
as functions of temperature, composition, and pressure
and used for processing and materials design [3-4]
, i.e.
with the individual phases based on crystal structures
as the building blocks of materials. The future develop-
ments in the field are discussed [5-6]
. Furthermore, our
newly developed approach in predicting property anom-
alies is reviewed with thermal expansion as an example
[7-8]
. These anomalies represent nonlinear combinations
of the properties of individual configurations, (micro-
states). The variation or “mutation” of these micro-
states with respect to external fields is governed by
the entropy of mixing among the stable and metastable
microstates, i.e. microstate configurational entropy
(MCE), responsible for anomalies in individual phases.
Our ability to tailor the properties of those individual
microstates impacts the design of materials, demanding
substantial innovation in infrastructures of data gener-
ation, repository, and re-use.
