| Scope |
The rapid transformation of materials production toward reduced environmental impact and lower CO2 emissions presents fundamental scientific challenges in metallurgy and materials science. This symposium aims to provide a research-focused forum for materials scientists, metallurgical engineers, chemists and physicists to discuss processes, alloys, and microstructures that enable sustainable metal production, processing, (re)use, and recycling.
The symposium emphasizes basic thermodynamics, kinetics, microstructure evolution, alloy design, and processing science that underpin sustainable metallurgy and metal production. Contributions addressing both fundamental mechanisms and applied process development are welcome.
We invite original research contributions related to, but not limited to, the following topics:
• Low-carbon metallurgical processes
• Scrap metallurgy and secondary processing
• Alloy design for enhanced circularity and recyclability
• Metallurgical processes for industrial waste recycling and upcycling
• Energy-efficient processing and microstructure control
• Electrified, electrochemical, and plasma metallurgy
• Data-driven and multiscale modeling
• Advanced characterization of microstructure and properties of materials
• Metallurgy of critical metals and energy-related materials |
