| Scope |
The primary production of metals and alloys and their downstream processing are significant sources of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. With projected growth in demand for metals and alloys in the future, there is a dire need now to develop fundamental science-based approaches to decarbonize metal production and processing. This symposium will bring together worldwide researchers working on the basic science questions related to transitioning from the widely used carbon-based high-temperature reduction of metal ores to lower-temperature solid phase reduction processes using alternate reductants such as Hydrogen, which can eliminate up to 10% of global CO2 emissions. This symposium will also feature experimental and computational research efforts to develop deformation-based solid phase processing approaches to achieve unique microstructures with superior structural and functional properties in metals and alloys. |
