Preface

We are very pleased to present the proceedings of the 3 rd International Conference on Material Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing Technology (MEAMT 2019) that was held successfully under the auspices of IASED in Shanghai, China, April 26-28, 2019. The theme of the conference - Material Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing Technology - is of key importance to the science and technology and a sustainable industrial development. This conference promotes valuable contacts between academia and industry and addresses both basic research and the societal/industrial technological needs within Material Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing Technology. In this era of Industry 4.0, we hope that the conference provided applicable data/information, addressed the issues in the societal/industrial transformation, and facilitated exchange within and between academia and industry. We want to express our gratitude to the program chairs and all members of the advisory, publicity, and technical committees for their valuable time and advices. We are grateful to the world renowned scientists who acted as keynote speakers at the conference. After a rigorous review process, where each paper was reviewed by at least two reviewers, high quality papers were accepted for presentation at this conference. We would like to thank all the reviewers for their time, effort, and for completing their assignments on time albeit tight deadlines. Many thanks to the authors for their valuable contributions and to the attendees for their active participation. Finally, a big thank to the organizers who made this conference to yet another unforgettable experience.
