Conference Topics

The Liquid Metal Processing & Casting Conference (LMPC) is a unique symposium that showcases the latest technological and scientific advances related to those industrial processes used to cast large ingots of highly alloyed metals.

The symposium presents a blend of academic and industrial papers on topics including advances in controls and process simulation, ingot defect formation and characterization studies, and process parameter-material properties characterization. The program will include, but is not limited to, the following topics:

Primary and Secondary Melt Processing including VIM, VAR, ESR, EBCHR, EIGA, Plasma Melting, Ingot Casting, Centrifugal Casting
Physical Property Measurements of Liquid Metals
Casting and Solidification of Liquid Metals
Modeling of Metallurgical Processes including Heat/Mass Flow Modeling of Liquid Metal and Solidification
Ceramic, Slag and Refractory Reactions with Liquid Metals
Refining, Evaporation and Gas/Metal Reactions
Fundamentals of Reactions Involving Liquid Metals in Productions Processes
Hydrogen Metallurgy
Metallurgical Applications of MHD
