Scope

The production of high-grade bulk goods will only have

any prospect of success if there are high-level innovations

which are intended to especially secure the quality and

sustainability of products. The aspect of preserving

resources is taking on an increasingly important role here.

With a new view on thermo-mechanical processing, the

manufacturing of functionally graded materials constitutes a

key to fulfill actual and future demands. At the 1st International

Conference on Thermo-Mechanically Graded Materials,

we would like to respond to this complex challenge with

sustainable solution approaches. In the context of this new

event, fundamental principles will be presented for innovative

hybrid thermo mechanical production processes in metal

forming and plastics moulding. These innovative methods need

to lead to the singleprocess-generation of products which possess

customised properties and simultaneously have a complex geometry.

This will shorten the process chain and ensure that more

efficient use is made of the energy and material inputs.

 

 

 

Conference Topics

The following topics will be covered, with the focus on

thermo-mechanical grading:

Materials

- engineering plastics

- high-performance steel

- innovative light-weight metals

Modelling and Simulation

- microstructural modelling

- thermomechanics of materials

- prediction of component properties

Product-Process Interaction

- modelling of process chains

- exploration environment

- process monitoring

Property Characterization of Functionally Graded Materials

- multiscale material characterization

- advances in testing procedures

- methods for result evaluation

 

  

We are pleased to announce that there will also be

the possibility to submit posters.

Accepted papers / posters will be printed in the

proceedings on the condition that at least one

author has to register for the conference. The

conference proceedings will be published in printed

form with an ISBN book number.
