| Scope |
As the most widely used and cost-effective structural alloys, steels play a crucial role in advancing sustainability. This symposium focuses on experimental, computational, and industrial advances in the design, production, and application of steels that enable more energy-efficient, recyclable, low-emission, and economical technologies.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Developing sustainable alloy solutions or processing routes to minimize production energy and emissions, reduce usage of critical mineral alloying, and to improve scrap recyclability.
- Designing high-strength, high-performance, or low-density steels for lightweight applications in the defense and automotive industries, including electric vehicles, and in the gas, mining, and energy sectors.
- Designing alloys and processing routes for renewable energy systems, including industrial electrification, hydrogen service, carbon capture transportation utilization and storage, geothermal, and nuclear energy applications.
- Designing alloys and microstructures for in-service durability and long-term performance, e.g. resistance to extreme temperatures, high pressures, fatigue, and/or corrosive environments.
- Leveraging artificial intelligence and/or machine learning approaches in the design, development, processing, and/or deployment of steels. |
