The 18th International Symposium “Metallography & Fractography 2022” features some special sessions on areas of current interest, and will focus primarily on practical aspects and advances in:
- microstructural characterisation techniques, including quantitative evaluation of microstructures, TEM, SEM, EBSD, and other microanalyses
- mathematical modelling and process simulation, stereological and statistical metods in the area of evaluating of microstructure and the process of failure
- solidification and solid state transformations, including segregation and precipitation processes
- prediction of microstructures and interrelationships between microstructure and material properties, with no limitation to classes of materials and technology
- welding and joining of materials
- fractures, the theory of material failure, defects and material degradation
- the utilization of fractography in engineering practice
- fatigue and creep, corrosion and oxidation
- nonferrous alloys, shape memory alloys
- nanostructures and nanocrystalline materials
- superconductors, composities, intermetallics, amorphous materials, biomaterials, powder metallurgy and ceramics
- coatings and surface engineering
- metallography in archaeology (archaeometallurgy)
