Interdependence between materials technologies and process industries is a common feature. Significant advances in science and technology are continually leading to the conception and design of new materials. An overview of some specialty materials (ceramics, polymers and composites) is provided. A summary of advances made in the metals industries (chemistry change, processing, fabrication, powder metallurgy and surfacing/coating) is presented. Multitude of innovative approaches to high performance alloys are illustrated by examples of an advanced corrosion‐resistant alloy, a cobalt‐free, heat‐resistant alloy and a family of new wear‐resistant stainless steels. Also, advances in information technology and materials expert systems are briefly outlined.
