In the first edition of this book we acknowledged a great debt to those with whom we
had discussed and argued over the subjects covered by this book over a period of very
many years. During the writing of the book we had particularly useful discussions and
correspondence with Brian Duggan, Bevis Hutchinson and Erik Nes. A large number of
others helped by providing advice, material and in many other ways. They include
Sreeramamurthy Ankem, Mahmoud Ardakani, Christine Carmichael, Michael Ferry,
Brian Gleeson, Gunther Gottstein, Brigitte Hammer, Alan Humphreys, Peter Krauklis,
Lasar Shvindlerman, Tony Malin, Paul Munroe, Nigel Owen, Phil Prangnell, Fred
Scott, Karen Vernon-Parry and David Willis.
A significant amount of the new research which has contributed to the second edition of
the book has been carried out in Manchester, and the strong support of the Engineering
and Physical Sciences Research Council and Alcan International is gratefully
acknowledged. The help, advice and support of Pete Bate has been particularly
valuable, and the Manchester Light Alloy Processing Group, including Philip Prangnell,
Norman Ridley, Hedieh Jazaeri, Peter Hurley, Yan Huang, Andrew Clarke, Martin
Ashton, Ian Brough, and Matthew Jones, and their provision of data and figures has
made a major contribution to this edition. During the preparation of the second edition,
critical comments and suggestions from Michael Ferry and Robert Moon of the
University of New South Wales have been extremely valuable.
Finally, and as in the first edition, we must acknowledge the patience and understanding
shown by our wives Anna and Lorna during the writing of the book.
