| Scope |
Alloy systems used at elevated temperatures remain essential for structural applications in the aerospace, automotive, and power-generation industries. Phase transformations that occur during fabrication, post-processing, and service play a central role in establishing the microstructure, properties, and long-term performance of these materials. In some cases, these transformations are deliberately used to achieve targeted combinations of strength, stability, and damage tolerance; in others, uncontrolled or service-induced transformations can contribute to degradation and failure. A mechanistic understanding of phase transformations and their effects on material behavior is therefore critical for the design, processing, and reliable application of alloys under elevated-temperature conditions.
This symposium will provide a forum for recent experimental, computational, and theoretical advances in the study of alloy phase transformations at elevated temperatures, spanning model alloys to commercially deployed materials. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, aluminum-base, titanium-base, iron-base, nickel-base, refractory-base, and multi-principal-element alloys, as well as intermetallic systems. |
