LightMAT2013 Provides Insight on Aluminium, Magnesium, and Titanium

The Euro LightMAT 2013 – Aluminium, Magnesium, Titanium Science and Technology conference, to be held September 3-5, 2013 in Bremen, Germany, addresses the three most important light metals, giving a broad overview of actual use in lightweight design, advanced modern transport systems, and structural applications. The conference provides a platform for academic and industrial researchers, scientists, and engineers to present and discuss the recent development and progress made in the scientific field of aluminum, magnesium, titanium, and their alloys.

Chaired by Prof. Dr. Jürgen Hirsch, Hydro Aluminium (Aluminium), Prof. Dr. Karl Ulrich Kainer, Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht (Magnesium) and Prof. Dr. Christoph Leyens, Dresden University of Technology (Titanium), the conference provides a deep insight into the basics of each metal. It also includes specific product requirements and how they are met by each of these conventional lightweight materials, or by their combination in advanced multi-material design, including specific joining and corrosion issues.

Sessions are organized in main applications, intended to provide optimum comparison and a broad overview of specific advances, problems and highlights, covering:

Conventional and advanced lightweight applications and products in automobiles, aerospace and other relevant transport and building systems
Fundamental aspects of the 3 light-weight alloys and their (physical) metallurgy
Microstructure evolution, related properties and advanced simulation
Industrial fabrication, processing and joining issues

Keynote and overview presentations are planed on the following topics by:

Academics on the frontiers of fundamental and applied science, such as alloy design and advanced processing including computational modeling.
Industrials on technology-based issues and processing, including applied simulation along the entire process chain.
Customers on recent application and markets issues, such as transport and building.

An exhibition will be run throughout the conference. Coffee breaks and poster sessions will be held close to the exhibition area.
