Intermetallics 2013

Intermetallics 2013 is a conference dedicated to all aspects and types of intermetallic based materials, including:

• Microstructure/Properties relationships: microstructural stability and characterization, size effects, surface effects and catalysis
• Fundamentals: constitution, phase transformations, defects, diffusion, deformation mechanisms …
• Failure: fracture and crack growth
• Structural and functional properties: mechanical characterisation, magnetic properties, shape memory behaviour, superplasticity
• Processing and joining: casting, forging, rolling, machining
• Environmental resistance: corrosion, coatings, environmental effects
• Powder metallurgy of intermetallics: powder production by gas atomization and mechanical alloying, consolidation and compaction by sintering, powder injection molding, layered manufacturing, rapid prototyping and cold spraying, thermomechanical treatment, microstructure, mechanical properties, physical metallurgy of PM, PM alloy development and design, applications
• Recent trends in alloy development and application: structural, shape memory, magnetic, optical, medical, thermoelectric, energy-storage
