Themes: Sustainability has become an integral component of research, and a
critical issue for the growth and well-being of society. Some of the critical
challenges are the rapid urbanization, a growing and aging population, the
large amount of waste disposed to landfill, global impoverishing of natural
resources and environment (fossil fuels, minerals, water and energy scarcity
etc.), declining infrastructure, the emergency to control carbon dioxide
emissions among others. These challenges have prompted – materials scientists
and engineers to design “green” or environmentally benign technologies. This
component of the symposium will focus on a variety of green and sustainable
technologies for energy harvesting, additive manufacturing, green tribology,
next generation products and processes, and development of advanced
instrumentation and control systems etc.
Proposed Session Topics
• Solar Energy
• Energy Harvesting
• Nanotechnology and next generation multifunctional materials

The intent of this symposium is to provide a forum for researchers from

understanding of materials science issues in high-temperature processes and
accelerate the development and acceptance of innovative materials and test
techniques for clean energy technology.
High temperature alloys are critical to the design and operation of a wide
variety of industrially important systems including those for propulsion, power
generation, petro-chemical processing and more. To improve the performance and
efficiency of these systems, operating temperatures, stresses and environmental
conditions are becoming more extreme and many of the key structural materials
are now being used near the limit of their temperature capability. As a result,
understanding the characteristic deformation behavior of these high temperature
structural materials during service is important for component life prediction
and the development of new alloy systems. In addition, the characteristic
deformation behavior of these materials also impacts their processability and
formability (or manufacturability). For example, mitigation of thermally
induced stresses during additive manufacturing/welding or optimization of
thermal-mechanical processing parameters for forming operations also requires
knowledge of the characteristic deformation behavior associated with high
temperature alloys. Advances in this field are key to the high temperature
structural materials community as they serve to drive research and development
on an industrially relevant and scientifically challenging topic.
The symposium aims to highlight recent advances in understanding, quantifying
and/or modeling deformation in various high temperature metallic alloy systems
(Ni, Co, Fe and CCA/HEA based alloys). Focus areas of this symposium include,
but are not limited to, the development of new alloys, characterization/testing
techniques, ICME studies, property models and methodologies, etc. related to
deformation, long-term stability and damage mechanisms in high temperature
alloy systems.
The report of a stable \\947;’-L12 phase in the ternary Co-Al-W system in 2006
has given rise to significant research on a new class of precipitation
strengthened alloys, analogous to Ni-based superalloys which are often utilized
in high temperature turbine engine components. Since the initial discovery, a
myriad of Co- and CoNi-based alloy compositions have been developed with
proposed applications ranging from high pressure turbine blades to compressor
disks. However, significant challenges still exist for commercial transition
of these new alloys, including increasing the \\947;’-solvus, improving
oxidation resistance, characterizing fatigue resistance, and establishing
processing windows.
This symposium continues in the tradition of the first two TMS symposia on
\\947;-\\947;’ Co-based superalloys (held in 2014 and 2017) to bring together
the growing community of researchers involved with developing \\947;’
-strengthened Co-based superalloys for high temperature and other applications.
Experimental and computational investigations on Co- and CoNi-based
alloys�that�focus�on understanding materials response, use
ICME-based�approaches,�or�aid in rapid alloy development will be highlighted.
Topics of interest include: strategies for increasing the \\947;’ solvus
temperature, improving environmental resistance, evaluating high temperature
mechanical performance, assessing phase stability and phase transformation
mechanisms, and advancing processing methods of these promising new materials.
This symposium focuses on ICME case studies and experimental validation of
materials for extreme environments. We are seeking abstracts in the following
general topic areas, including but not limited to:
\\176; Developing and validating ICME approaches for material design,
manufacturing process development (including advanced manufacturing
techniques), mechanical behavior (e.g., tensile and creep), and environmental
performance (e.g., corrosion and/or oxidation resistance).
\\176; Performing critical experiments to fill knowledge gaps for
physics-based, mechanistic process-structure-property models, elucidating the
relationship between environment and the evolution of microstructure.
\\176;Developing methods to expedite verification and validation testing of
materials for extreme environments and relevant performance models under
representative extreme environments.
\\176; Demonstrate how this approach can be applied to novel alloys (e.g., high
entropy alloys), critical alloy systems (e.g., Ni-based alloys), coatings,
novel extreme environments (e.g., supercritical CO2), and/or novel product
forms (e.g., thin sheet materials).
The proposed four sessions will be carried out over two full days, with morning
and afternoon sessions each day. Throughout the four sessions, we anticipate
about 30 oral presentations, with 4-8 of those being keynote presentations.
Ni-, Co- and Fe-based superalloys are enabling materials for the design of
high-temperature components for aerospace propulsion, chemical processing, oil
and gas applications, and power generation. They retain superior strength at
elevated temperatures, and show excellent damage tolerance, toughness,
long-term stability and resistance to creep accumulation and environmental
damage. The performance of these alloys is often improved when formed to
optimize microstructure or used in conjunction with surface treatments and
coatings or with novel design solutions. The aim of the symposium is to
discuss the mechanisms of deformation and damage in the manufacture and
application of high temperature Ni, Co and Fe based superalloys. It is
proposed that the technical focus is on the understanding:
- Roles of deformation and heat treatment on the evolution of microstructure
during material processing
- Effects of deformation from manufacture on material and component behavior
- Mechanisms of deformation that determine material behavior
- Development of deformation that gives rise to damage during material
application
- Effects of composition and microstructure on resistance to deformation and
damage accumulation
Topics of interest may include (but are not limited to):
- Elevated temperature forging, recrystallization, grain growth, flow forming,
machining and shot peening
- Experimental observation of deformation and damage accumulation
- Constitutive and computational modeling of deformation
- Mechanisms of ambient and elevated temperature plasticity, creep, fatigue,
creep-fatigue, crack growth and environmental damage
Recent innovations in alloy research, along with novel processing techniques,
continue to extend their applications in very challenging environments—ranging
from corrosion resistance in the deep sea to extreme temperature, radiation,
and pressure resistance in space applications. Technical presentations are
carefully and stringently curated to ensure the highest quality programming at
Superalloy 718 & Derivatives. This conference will provide an opportunity for
authors to present technical advancements relative to a broad spectrum of areas
while assessing their impact on related fields associated with this critical
alloy group.
This conference is more industrially focused than other superalloys
conferences, with technical topics focusing on alloy and process development,
production, product applications, trends, and the development of advanced
modeling tools. New developments in R&D, new processing methods, 3D printing,
and other nontraditional applications will also be covered in the program.
