About this Symposium

This symposium invites experimental and computational studies that focus on solid-state transformations and microstructure evolution during complex thermal conditions of metallic systems. Topics include but are not limited to:

Microstructural evolution under/during -
• complex heat treatments during fusion based metal additive manufacturing and welding,
• thermal cycling of aerospace and automobile parts,
• heat transfer from engines or moving parts,
• aerodynamic heating,
• thermal cycling and thermal gradients of solder interconnects used in micro-electronic packages, and
• complex in reactor thermal conditions of nuclear reactor components.
