Foreword I am sometimes asked, when presenting a paper on “Recent advances in steel processing”, whether, after a century and a half of research on steels, there is anything left to discover. “Hasn’t everything there is to know been determined by now?” they say. My usual answer is to quote Albert Einstein’s reply on such occasions. This great scientist would simply say: “When the radius of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of ignorance”. In fact, because of the linear relationship between radius and circumference, he was actually understating the extent to which the boundary between the ‘known’ and the ‘unknown’ expands with the progress of science. Perhaps he should have used the radius of a sphere to typify what is known or even that of a 4- o
