Superalloys 2012: Technical Program
September 9 to 13, 2012 • Seven Springs Mountain Resort • Champion, Pennsylvania

The Superalloys 2012 technical program will feature a keynote speaker presentation on Sunday evening, followed by technical sessions and presentations of both oral and interactive posters from Monday, September 10, through Thursday, September 13.

TECHNICAL SCOPE

The overall scope seeks to highlight advances in superalloys made possible by practical application of modeling and simulation. While significant advances in the fundamental understanding and sophistication of materials models have been made, the major challenge for the superalloy community is to apply these models across the life cycle of superalloys, from alloy and process design, then to industrial processes in the factory, and finally to materials used in production.

The Superalloys 2012 symposium invites papers in its traditional focus areas of alloy development, processing, coatings and environmental effects, and mechanical behavior, but with an increased focus on how modeling tools were developed and applied in these areas. With this emphasis, the Symposium will further strengthen the links between the academic, supply chain, and product-user members of the superalloy community.

The symposium will be dedicated to a distinguished honoree to mark their outstanding contributions to the field of superalloys. Awards will be made for best paper and best poster, in both full and student categories. View the Superalloys Award information.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS

The abstract submission deadline has passed.

Abstract Selection Criteria
Final acceptance of papers will be based on technical criteria equivalent to those exercised by refereed journals. The extended 1000-word abstract will be the basis of initial acceptance. It must include a statement of purpose, and describe the experimental procedure, results, and relevant conclusions. Abstracts will be selected on the basis of originality, technical content and industry pertinence. To aid in evaluation, potential authors are strongly encouraged to include 1 or 2 figures in the abstract. Use of SI units is preferred.

Important Deadlines
Due to the intent to provide a hard copy of the proceedings to each attendee at the start of the conference, adherence to the abstract and paper deadlines will be strictly enforced.
