as a joint session with Cast Shop Technology. The usage of light metals in the
aerospace, automotive and packaging industries has been rising due to their
outstanding properties. The importance of recycling and sustainable metal
casting has risen in the last decades dramatically due to the increasing demand
on primary resources and environmental concerns. Innovative solutions are
needed to increase the efficiency in metal processing and treatment for complex
scraps. This joint session within the Cast Shop Technology explores novel and
improved recycling technologies for complex scraps, mechanical and thermal
pre-treatment of scraps, new recycling and refining processes, economic and
environmental impacts of recycling, incl. life cycle assessment.
Scandium is a high-impact alloying addition to aluminum having beneficial
effects on several properties and in many aluminum alloy systems. However, the
use of aluminum scandium alloys has been limited to low volume, special
applications due to the high price of scandium. New sources of scandium are
emerging with potentially lower costs in the form of new mines, red mud
extraction, extraction from nickel ores and as a by-product of titanium pigment
and slag production. Papers on scandium extraction and use in aluminum alloy
systems are sought for this symposium. Papers on the metallurgy of aluminium
scandium alloy systems and applications are also required. Session topics will
include: • Scandium extraction from by products • Aluminum scandium alloys
(joint session with aluminum alloys symposium) • Aluminum scandium alloys

This Symposium focuses on solidification influenced by external fields, which
includes, but is not limited to, solidification in the presence of strong
gravitational, acoustic or electromagnetic (EM) fields. The use of external
fields has become widespread in a drive for improved materials or better
understanding of fundamental phenomena. Examples include the use of magnetic
fields to introduce electromagnetic braking of fluid flow or to interact with
inherent electric currents to drive flow in processes ranging from traditional
casting to additive manufacturing. Or to use electromagnetic fields to levitate
droplets of highly reactive metals to understand and measure key material
properties, with comparison to experiments under microgravity conditions.
Acoustic fields can also drive flow through acoustic streaming, but also cause
cavitation of micro bubbles that can refine microstructures. Strong
super-gravitational fields can make materials more denser providing improved
material properties of soft and condensed matter.
The symposium seeks contributions from any process where the introduction of an
external field has a significant impact on solidification. As external fields
add a new parameter space to many processes a key aim is to develop
interdisciplinary discussions.
The symposium will bring together world experts to share recent findings,
state-of-the-art techniques and to facilitate discussions and knowledge
transfer. The aim is to develop research networks between partners that will
generate new ideas and direction for long-term collaborations.
The symposium aims to bring about an intensive exchange of fundamental
understanding and technological advances of automotive lightweight structure
joining solutions, among worldwide academics, research scientists and expert
automotive engineers, with focus on aluminium alloys and their joints with
steel and polymers.
Papers that describe physical experiments, joint design, characterization and
assessment, and process simulation and optimization on the following key
joining technologies are welcome:
•Solid state joining methods - friction stir welding (FSW), self-piercing
riveting (SPR), and magnetic pulse welding (MPW), etc.
•Fusion welding and resistance welding- laser beam welding (LBW), electron beam
welding (EBW), Cold metal transfer (CMT) welding, resistance spot welding, etc.
•Hybrid joining methods and adhesive bonding.
Also welcome are all aspects of research, development and applications relating
to the joining of automotive lightweight structures.
The honoree will be honored in a special Aluminum Reduction Technology session.

microstructures develop and evolve during solidification experiments or
processes;
- Contributions which put forward original interpretations, observations of
novel phenomena, and outstanding challenges from both fundamental and applied
perspectives, as well as transfer of fundamental knowledge to practical
applications;
- Investigation methods including theory, experiments, characterization,
modeling across all relevant length and time scales, as well as data-driven
approaches;
- Contributions that combine novel characterization techniques, challenging
property measurements, and computational simulations across scales are
especially encouraged.

A joint REWAS-LMD symposium on Recycling & Sustainability will be organized as
a joint session with Cast Shop Technology. The usage of light metals in the
aerospace and automotive industries has been rising due to their outstanding
properties. The importance of recycling and sustainable metal casting has risen
in the last decades dramatically due to the increasing demand on primary
resources and environmental concerns. Innovative and more efficient recycling
technologies are needed for complex scraps to increase the recycled metal
portion in the total metal production. This joint session within the Cast Shop
Technology explores economic and environmental impacts of recycling,
recyclability of complex scraps, pre-treatment of scraps, new recycling
processes and life cycle assessment.
Note regarding publication: Authors seeking an oral presentation opportunity
must submit a manuscript. Papers submitted to the joint REWAS-Recycling and
Sustainability session will be published in the Light Metals proceedings and
referenced in the REWAS proceedings.
This honorary symposium will consist of a set of invited speakers to cover
topics motivated and inspired by the wealth of expertise
Dr. Apelian has contributed in metals processing, aluminum and battery
recycling, sustainability, education in materials science and
more. Experts will be those connected with the NSF IUCRC Center for Resource,
Recovery and Recycling that Dr. Apelian founded
as well as his Metals Processing Institute in addition to REWAS 2022
contributors.
Honorary sessions will also cover topics such as: Solidification processing;
aluminum metallurgy; clean metal/melt refining; plasma
processing / spray forming; powder metallurgy; resource recovery and recycling;
other topics in materials processing, and innovation
in engineering education. This symposium is linked with the REWAS 2022 sessions
as Dr. Apelian’s research
is deeply coupled to the key themes within REWAS.
This symposium covers decarbonization efforts across the primary and secondary
industries via development of alternative, renewable energies and the
optimization of fuel consumption for energy generation. Described concepts will
refer to recent technologies or policies used for the purpose of reducing CO2
emissions. In particular,�hydrogen reduction, inert anode smelting and
alternative sources of energy for production plants�are of interest. Beyond the
technologies described, emphasis should be made on the metrics used for the
quantification of carbon reduction.��
