FOREWORD This volume comprises the Proceedings of the International Conference on Solid-Solid Phase Transformations in inorganic Materials, PTM 2010, held in the city of Avignon, within the premises of the Palace of the Popes, from June 6 to 11, 2010. The main objective of the PTM Conference series is to provide a forum for presentation and discussion of state-of-the-art advances in the field of solid-solid phase transformations. The previous PTM conferences were held at Pittsburgh (1981), Cambridge (1987), Faremington, Pennsylvania (1994), Kyoto (1999) and Phoenix (2005). Together with the splendid environment of the conference, the active participation of over 470 scientists (160 from France and approximately 310 from thirty different countries) made PTM 2010 very rewarding. The technical program was divided into nine thematic sessions that ran in parallel into four different conference rooms. Over 360 oral presentations have been given, including 8 plenary lectures and 60 invited talks. Due to the large number of contributed abstracts received, two evening poster sessions were organized, during which 195 papers were presented. All papers appearing in the Proceedings were peer-reviewed under the supervision of the Proceedings editors. A special attention was paid to ensure the high quality of the accepted papers. The PTM 2010 Conference initiated the awarding of the Hillert-Cahn lecture. The first awardee was Dr. Gary Purdy, Professor at Mac Master University, who presented one of the plenary lectures of the Conference, entitled Ferrite formation from austenite; effects of length scale, interface type and chemistry. We would like to express our gratitude to all the sponsors for their strong support, especially the Materials and Processes Science and Engineering Laboratory (SIMAP), the Tranverse Programme for Advanced Materials of the CEA, the French Aerospace Lab (ONERA), the Institute of Chemistry of the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) the French Phase Field Network and the Laboratoire d Etude des Microstructures (LEM). We address our sincere thanks to the Members of the International Scientific Committee for their valuable suggestions for invited speakers. We are also very grateful to the Members of the National Scientific Committee for their determinant help in constructing the content of the technical program and for the organization of the different sessions. Finally, we address our deep appreciation to the team of the FFC (Fédération Française pour les sciences de la Chimie), Pascale Bridou-Buffet, Christelle Colas, Patrice Méheux and François Rocquet, who dealt with all the technical aspects of the conference preparation and execution. The conference could not have been organized without their deep commitment Finaly, we note that the next International Conference on Solid-Solid Phase Transformations in inorganic Materials, PTM 2015, will be organized by Drs. Matthias Militzer, Chad Sinclair, Gianluigi Botton, Hatem Zurob, James Howe and Long-Qing Chen and held in the Banff Centre, located in the Rocky Mountains near Calgary, Canada.

The Hillert Cahn Lecture John W. Cahn Mats Hillert The Hillert-Cahn lecture was initiated in 2010 in recognition of the outstanding contributions of John Cahn and Mats Hillert to the development of the science of phase transformations in metals and alloys. It will be awarded at every PTM conference to an outstanding scientist in the field of the physical metallurgy of phase transformations. The recipient of the award will present a plenary lecture at the PTM conference. The selection of the recipient will be made by the organisers of the PTM conference, together with recommendations by John Cahn, Mats Hillert and former recipients.
PTM 2010 Hillert Cahn Lecture Pr. Gary Purdy The first awardee was Gary Purdy, Professor at Mac Master University, who presented one of the plenary lectures of the conference: Ferrite formation from austenite; effects of length scale, interface type and chemistry. Professor Purdy is recognized as a leading authority in the field of diffusional phase transformations associated with interface migration. He is especially famous for his contribution to the understanding of discontinuous precipitation, for the discovery of diffusion induced boundary migration, and for his contribution to the understanding of austenite to ferrite transformations.
In memory of Prof. Hubert I. Aaronson or Prof. Hubert I. Aaronson s obituary PTM2010 was another highly successful conference in the series on solid-solid phase transformations, the format of which was established by the conference at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh in 1981. Unfortunately, one of the founders of the conference, and constant driving forces behind its organization, was not present at PTM2010. Prof. Hubert I. Aaronson, simply known as Hub to his friends and colleagues, passed away in December 2005, not long after PTM2005, the previous conference in the series. Hub influenced the field of solid-solid phase transformations in so many ways - through his teaching, scientific research, support of young colleagues, and in organizing highly focused conferences on key topics important to the development of the field. He was particularly well known for his major contributions to the subjects of diffusional nucleation and growth and the mechanisms of phase transformations. 1 Hub s passion to understand phase transformations, his impressive knowledge of the literature, his excellent experimental technique, and the high standards he set for himself and others in every aspect of scientific research, were an inspiration to his students and colleagues. His enthusiasm was missed at PTM2010 and it will be missed at future conferences in the PTM series. Fortunately, Hub s legacy will continue as long as new and existing theories of solid-solid phase transformations are compared with critical experiments designed to test these theories at the highest levels of scientific rigor. It is a great pleasure to acknowledge Hub s many contributions to the PTM conference series and to the field of solid-solid phase transformations. We can honor him by maintaining the high standards that he and his co-organizers set forth in the 1981 conference, and the goal to focus on fundamental aspects of phase transformations, in all future PTM conferences. 1 Fortunately, due to the efforts of Masato Enomoto and Jong K. Lee, Hub s course notes from Carnegie Mellon University were recently published as, Mechanisms of Diffusional Phase Transformations in Metals and Alloys, CRC Press, Boca Raton, FL (2010). James M.
