International Symposium on the Science and Processing of Cast Iron

International Symposium on the Science and Processing of Cast Iron

 

The Institute for Research in Materials Science and Technology (INTEMA) will host the tenth International Symposium on the Science and Processing of Cast Iron (SPCI 10), from 10 to 13th of November 2014. This symposium will continue a series which began in Detroit, USA (1964), and was followed by meetings held at Geneva, Switzerland (1974), Stockholm, Sweden (1984), Tokyo, Japan (1989), Nancy, France (1994), Birmingham, USA (1998), Barcelona, Spain (2002), Beijing, China (2006), and Luxor, Egypt (2010). SPCI 10 will gather the world leading researchers in the field of Cast Iron. It will be an excellent forum where scientists, metallurgists, producers as well as users can discuss the state of the art of cast iron science and processing and exchange ideas and experiences. Nowadays Cast Iron, as most engineering materials on earth, faces a strong competition from other materials. Thanks to the joint efforts of producers, technologists and researchers, Cast Iron has not just maintained a strong position in the cast metals market over the last troubled years, but has also gained new markets and increased its applications. SPCI 10 will provide an excellent opportunity to learn about the latest developments and to foresee the near future in this field.
