"Aluminum: Modern, Innovative, Attractive"
Martin Iffert, CEO Trimet Aluminium SE
Abstract
The history and future will be presented for modern Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D Printing. The technology, divided into seven categories by ASTM, dates to the 1980s, although precursor processes and AM "prehistory" date to the 1950s and the previous century, respectively. A rationale will be presented for the use of AM processes in lieu of conventional manufacturing processes. Two requirements for parts under consideration for AM are complex geometry and low production runs. Current sectors using AM illustrate the results. A survey of materials for AM will be provided. Some consideration will be presented respecting where AM technology is headed.

"Lightweighting: What is the Future for the Automotive Industry?"
Stephane Delalande, Deputy Scientific Director, PSA Peugeot Citroën
Abstract
In this lecture, we will present the relation between the modification of mobility patterns and the need for lightweighting for automobiles. For many years, to improve security and comfort, car manufacturers have increased the weight of their vehicles. However, due to environmental concerns, numerous countries have implemented their own CO2 emission rules. Currently, many different strategies exist to address these emission reduction objectives. One important way is the mass reduction of automobiles, in particular, for hybrid and electric cars. There are three main ways to do so, of which two of them are using materials with a lower density or materials with better mechanical properties. We will investigate the balance between both solutions from mass production to premium sport car manufacturing. This will aid us in describing the development and design of vehicles in the future.
About the Presenter
Stephane Delalande has a Ph.D. in Materials Science from the University Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris. As the Deputy of the Scientific Director, he is in charge of all scientific programs and partnerships with universities and institutional research centers. In addition, he is responsible for the development of PSA Peugeot Citroën’s scientific collaborations in the United States and the materials expert for PSA Group.
Delalande has worked on projects concerning the introduction of lightweight materials in cars—aluminum, magnesium, and composites. This included study of the surface treatment, rules of conception, and joining techniques for these materials. He is the leader of the Material Expert Group of all European Car manufacturers with relationships to European Council.
Delalande is currently a visiting associate at the California Institute of Technology.

2016 Bladesmithing Symposium Keynote Presentation
Connections: Superplasticity, Damascus Steels, Laminates, the Giza Pyramid, and Carbon Dating
Jeffrey Wadsworth, Battelle
Date: Tuesday, February 16, 2016
Time: 8:35 a.m.
Location: Music City Center, Room 104A
In the mid-1970s, a race was underway to develop superplasticity in steels. This keynote presentation will describe how that research program led to a series of investigations into historical materials starting with Damascus Steels. The archaeometallurgy of swords and knives will be discussed starting with the early development of wood, bone, horn, and stone knives and evolving
to the present time where modern Bladesmiths use an astonishing range of sophisticated materials and manufacturing methods.
About the Bladesmithing Symposium
The 2016 Bladesmithing Symposium builds upon the phenomenal success of the Bladesmithing Competition held at TMS2015 last year and serves as a bridge to the next Bladesmithing Competition planned for TMS2017 in San Diego, California. Students and student teams will present their work associated with or inspired by the 2015 Bladesmithing Competition.

Abstract
Significant efforts have been made to advance technologies that provide a reduction in the energy demands of consumers. For instance, bulbs made with light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been demonstrated to last longer and save substantial energy when compared to conventional incandescent lighting. Thin film solar cells provide improved efficiencies over conventional silicon based technologies, both of which offer energy from renewable sources rather than from fossil fuels. In the consumer electronics arena, recycling at end-of-life has become essential to recover valuable materials and ensure proper disposal of toxic substances. Yet all of these technologies, thought to be advancing the state of the art in sustainable, green design require the utilization of resources (materials and energy) and create potential environmental impacts (both human and ecological), as do all product fabrication processes. This presentation will review a series of case studies on these technologies highlighting the various types of impacts associated with them, in an effort to guide future development of sustainable technologies such that they require less resource input, generate less environmental impact and/or use fewer toxic substances.
Abstract
Modern technologies benefit greatly from the discovery and application of new functional materials and associated devices. Functional materials encompass a broad spectrum of materials having useful properties including mechanical, electronic, optical, magnetic, biological, or energy-related properties. It is important to be able to control the properties, for example, by altering the microstructures/nanostructures or by taking different materials processing routes. In this presentation, some example functional materials R&D projects will be described with emphasis on microstructural control to impart unique or enhanced properties, and their potential technical applications will be discussed.
