The Scope

The objective of the symposium is to showcase the recent strides in the area of rapid solidification processing of advanced metallic, intermetallics, and composite materials that have enabled advances in the manufacturing for emerging applications that is synchronous with advances in technology. The sessions in this symposium aims to showcase recent advances in research, development and implementation of technologies; a few salient themes would include metal-based powders, consolidation and processing, rapid prototyping, casting using non-equilibrium solidification processes, amorphous, nano-crystalline and crystalline materials, thin filament structures, and joining and integration of rapid solidified components. Application of technologies in commercial sectors such as transportation, energy and defense would be highlighted with focus on the science, principle, technology, advances and application.
