Scope of Symposium

The focus will be process innovation, development and modeling with particular focus on material and part performance related to advanced manufacturing of light materials. The light materials covered are Al, Ti, Mg-alloys and Ti- or Al-based intermetallics. Ad¬vanced processing will cover processes primarily relevant to the automotive, aerospace end 3C sectors to generate both sheet metal components and structural parts made by casting, powder metallurgical means (including reactive processing) as well as assemblies by joining. Particularly important is the performance of the material at the component level and the effects of the processing route and the micro structural changes of the material.
