ISSI-2: Invited Presentations

The 2nd International Symposium on Structural Intermetallics (ISSI-2), sponsored by the High Temperature Alloys and Titanium Committees of The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society's (TMS's) Structural Materials Division will be held at the Seven Springs Mountain Resort, Champion, Pennsylvania, Sunday, September 21, through Thursday, September 25, 1997. As described in the following, a number of leading researchers in the field of intermetallics have been invited to present in-depth topical discussions. These presentations, as well as contributed papers, will be delivered throughout the meeting during the scheduled technical sessions. See the calendar of events for more information.
