LightMAT 2017 - 2nd Conference & Exhibition on Light Materials

Deadline to submit abstracts: 06 March 2017

What is the right material for your advanced light weight design - Aluminium, Magnesium or Titanium?

The 2nd International Conference on Light Materials – Science and Technology (LightMAT 2017) gives a comprehensive overview and new insight into the three most important light metals Aluminium, Magnesium and Titanium and their combinations.

LightMAT 2017 provides a platform for academic and industrial researchers, scientists and engineers to present and discuss the recent development and progress made in Magnesium, Aluminium, Titanium and their alloys and materials combinations. Additional sessions are organized beyond single metals and address common processes and main applications, intended to provide comparison and cross fertilization, giving a wide overview of individual advances, challenges and highlights, covering:

Conventional and advanced light weight applications and products in automotive, aerospace and other relevant transport and lightweight applications
Fundamental aspects of the three metallic lightweight materials and their alloys, their processing and (physical) metallurgy issues involved
Microstructure evolution, related properties and advanced simulation
Industrial fabrication, processing, joining and corrosion protection issues
Additive manufacturing of metallic structures enabling novel lightweight designs
LightMAT 2017 addresses industry as well as academia and intends to strengthen the link between the two. Furthermore, the conference promotes the participation and the networking of young engineers, scientists and students.

Topics
The conference topics cover lightweight materials such as Aluminum, Magnesium and Titanium, their processing as well as their specific technology and property features, which are involved in their use in modern transport systems and structural lightweight applications.

LightMAT 2017 gives a deep insight into the fundamentals and the specific requirements that apply to each of the three lightweight materials. The materials are viewed individually or in combination in multi-material designs, including the aspects of processing, joining and corrosion protection. In addition, promising enabling-technologies such as additive manufacturing are highlighted.

Plenary, Lectures and Poster presentations cover the following topics:

A – Processing
B – Applications
C – Alloy Development
D – Hybrid Materials and Multi-material designs
E – Characterization and testing
F – Computational materials design
G – Sustainability
AM – Special Topic - Additive Manufacturing
ECAA - Special Symposium

Additive manufacturing - the industrial version of 3-D printing – is already used to produce some individualized items, such as medical implants, and plastic prototypes for engineers and designers. The special topic “Additive Manufacturing” shall give an overview of advances on 3-D printing of extremely sophisticated applications made of light alloys. Furthermore, the session shall figure out both the current and the future challenges and opportunities of this promising technology on its way out of today’s niche market.

The deadline for the submission of abstracts is 6 March 2017!

Search / advanced search of the idw archives
Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

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).
