(This article belongs to the Special Issue 5th UK-China Steel Research Forum)
Following the past successful four events in Leicester (2010), Wuhan (2012), Oxford (2014) and Chongqing (2016), the 5th UK–China Steel Research Forum, in conjunction with the 16th Conference of Chinese Materials Association in the UK on Materials Science and Engineering, was held at the University of Birmingham, UK on 4–7 July 2018. This event provided a platform for scientists, engineers, technologists, industry leaders and policymakers to discuss and exchange the recent advances on steel, materials science and engineering research in the UK and China.
This Special Issue contains selected papers presented at the 5th UK–China Steel Research Forum and the 16th Conference of Chinese Materials Association in the UK on Materials Science and Engineering covering broad topics on steel metallurgy, advanced materials, modelling of metallurgical processes, materials characterisation, advanced manufacturing, ironmaking and steelmaking, emerging steel technology and sustainable development [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22]. We hope that the Special Issue can serve as an overview of the steel research in the UK and China.
The editors acknowledge with thanks the participation of the attendees, invited and contributing authors, and reviewers. They are grateful to Dr. Shaojun Qi and Dr. Xiaoying Li of the University of Birmingham, UK for their valuable assistance in organising the Forum and in preparing this Special Issue.
