Topics A

Processing and Additive Manufacturing

This symposium aims to spark discussion around cutting-edge advances on various topics relevant to conventional and advanced processing of lightweight metals and their alloys, including casting, forming, heat treatment, and surface modification. A particular focus is placed on additive manufacturing technologies and their potential to enable novel geometries, tailored microstructures, and high-performance and more sustainable lightweight components. Thus, contributions on powder and wire additive manufacturing of light alloys are encouraged. Contributions addressing process–structure–property relationships and process optimization are especially welcome. Applications that are connected to manufacturing these alloys for the automotive, aerospace & space, medical, energy, and mining sectors are sought after.
