Electromagnetic processing of materials (EPM) relates to all branches of materials processing where some benefit could be attained from an electromagnetic influence on the process. This covers traditional areas such as liquid metal processing, metal casting and solidification, induction heating, but also crystal growth from the melt, plasma processes, etc. The EPM conferences series was initiated in 1994 by S. Asai (Japan) and M. Garnier (France). It takes place every three years, the last one was held in Sendai (Japan) in October 2006.
The conference is open for contributions on any kind of materials processing involving electric or magnetic fields. It intends to bring together people from academic institutions, industry and related equipment manufacturers. We cordially invite you to attend EPM2009 and look forward to see you in Dresden.
Conference topics:
o Fundamentals of EPM
o Induction heating and related heat treatment
o Steelmaking: ladle treatment, continuous casting
o Casting and solidification
o Microwave processing
o Measuring techniques and instrumentation for liquid metal flows and EPM processes
o Electrochemical processes
o Electromagnetic melting, cold crucible, melt preparation
o Magnetic flow control, EM stirring and braking, EM casting
o EM shaping and forming, EM levitation
o High-intensity magnetic fields applied to materials processing
o Equipments for EPM, EM pumps, EM brakes, EM stirrers, power sources
o Crystal growth from the melt, magnetically influenced Cz and FZ processes
o EM control of solar silicon production processes

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
