This issue of the Engineering Research Journal contains one contribution resulted from the 10th International Scientific Conference on the Plastic Deformation of Metals. Three further contributions had already been published in the last issue of 2014.

Continuing the tradition of the Ukrainian Scientific School of Metal Forming, the 10th International Scientific Conference “Plastic Deformation of Metals” took place from 19th to 23rd of May 2014 at the National Metallurgical Academy of Ukraine in Dnipropetrovs’k. This event is a meeting point of Eastern and Western European experts from industries and universities in the fields of metal forming and material science.

The main attention of the conference members was paid to new products and new materials produced by means of plastic deformation. Obtaining required properties and high precision product shapes is only possible taking into account the theoretical background of plastic deformation and the specifics of existing or projected equipment and technological processes.

Complete information about the Conference is available at www.metal-forming.org/Confernence-2014 . Some by the editorial board selected papers are presented in this Journal to provide the reader an insight into the most actual tasks in the field of plastic deformation of metals.
