Conferences
8–10 November 2017, Bremen, Germany
The 2nd International Conference on Light Materials--Science and Technology (LightMAT 2017)
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.
