'Magnesium Workshop Madrid 2013', Madrid, Spain
21 May 2013 - 21 May 2013
Spain
An event entitled 'Magnesium Workshop Madrid 2013'Agriculture' will be held from 21 to 24 May 2013 in Madrid, Spain.
In order to significantly reduce the environmental burdens in modern society, lightweight metals and alloys play an increasingly important role because of their high strength and stiffness, corrosion resistance, and recyclability. Among them, magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), and titanium (Ti) alloys are widely utilized to manufacture structural components in aircraft, automotive, marine, electronics, and construction industries.
To meet the need for a reduction of energy consumption, the industry has pushed light-weighting technologies and research efforts related to improving Mg - the lightest of all structural metals - to the forefront. Although a great deal of progress has been made in our understanding of the deformation behavior of Mg alloys, a rigorous knowledge of the transitions leading to changes in the dominant deformation mode is still lacking along with how to control the microstructure in order to optimize the mechanical behavior.
The workshop will provide a forum for researchers, industry and markets to exchange information on the present state of things and future opportunities.For further information, please visit:
