Conference Service Mandl

abstract: The second in this series of conferences will be another step forward to focus on recent advances in thermo-mechanical processing, emphasizing various simulation techniques and their appliations. It will provide an opportunity to scientists and technologists from research/academic institutes, and manufacturers to share their experience and find new directions in producing high value products.

The conference will focus on: such topics as: phase transformation; recrystallization and grain growth; mathematical modeling of metallurgical processes and microstructure; simulation of continuous casting, hot rolling, forging, heat-treatment, strip annealing and welding; advances ion thermo-mechanical processing of steels; structure-property correlation; and emerging steel.

abstract: Material Science research is always radiating complexity though contributing to make involved streams rich as subject and bringing changes in lifestyle of society. Materials by class are prone to keep their characteristics as secret which prescribes an approach to inter and multidisciplinary research.

Energy technologies, Defense, Space, Industry all such sectors are constantly searching for materials with longer lifetimes and of more tolerance to radiation and research is encouraged to meet this goal. An additional protocol is to be pursued to grow body of data on the behavior of materials under specified conditions. The whole scenario underlines the necessity of understanding material properties with great precision. How far the frontier experimental state-of art facilities and computational resources can bring paradigm shift in precision measurement of materials is an issue needs to be addressed. Few outstanding scientists whose exceptionally creative works open up new frontiers in material research will discuss selected topics of material science in the ambiance of “SANTINIKETAN” and in the backdrop of a recently developed research laboratory with state - of - art facilities to enlighten the august audience about options of employing probes and material treatments to make further progress in material research.
