Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).These proceedings of the 7th PRICM conference comprise over 720 peer-reviewed paper grouped into: Symposium A: Advanced Steels and Processing, Symposium B: Advanced High-Temperature Structural Materials, Symposium C: Light Metals and Alloys, Symposium D: Bulk Metallic Glasses and Nanomaterials, Symposium E: Solidification, Deformation and Related Processing, Symposium F: Modeling and Simulation of Microstructures and Processes, Symposium G: Thin Films and Surface Engineering, Symposium H: Advanced Ceramics, Symposium I: Biomaterials, Smart Materials and Structures, Symposium J: Materials Characterization and Evaluation, Symposium K: Composites and Hybrid Materials, Symposium L: Energy Generation, Harvesting and Storage Materials, Symposium M: IOMMMS Global Materials Forum. This work will therefore be an invaluable reference tool for researchers, engineers, scientists and end-producers working in the fields of advanced materials and processing. The acronym for this conference stands for Pacific Rim International Conference on Advanced Materials and Processing, which is held every three years, sponsored by metals societies of China, Japan, Korea, Australia, and the US. The seventh conference, held August 2010, in Cairns, Australia, heard 720 papers (selected from 1500 submissions), along with 150-plus plenary, keynote, and invited speakers. This proceedings publication presents the papers in three volumes arranged according to the 13 themes of the symposia: advanced steels and processing; advanced high temperature structural materials; light metals and alloys; bulk metallic glasses and nanomaterials; solidification, deformation and related processing; modelling and simulation of microstructures and processes; thin films and surface engineering; advanced ceramics; biomaterials, smart materials, and structures; materials characterization and evaluation; composites and hybrid materials; energy generation, harvesting, and
