From 9-13 November 2010, the Central Metallurgical Research and Development
Institute, Cairo-Egypt will organize the ninth International Symposium on
Science and Processing of Cast Iron (SPCI-9).
This symposium will be in line with others previously held in:
Detroit, USA (1964), Geneva, Switzerland (1974), Stockholm, Sweden (1984),
Tokyo, Japan (1989), Nancy,
France (1994), Birmingham, USA (1998), Barcelona, Spain (2002),
Beijing, China (2006).
· SPCI-9 will come in crucial time of cast iron development history and will
gain special importance stemming from the tremendous challenges currently
facing the cast iron industry.
· SPCI-9 will discuss the current status of:
-
Fundamental research on solidification and solid state transformation
of
cast iron
-
Recent technologies of melting, casting, heat treatment and process
control.
-
Computational modeling of cast iron transformation and processing.
-
Novel applications of cast iron.
· SPCI-9 will be as usual an excellent arena where scientists, metallurgists,
producers as well as applicants can discuss the
state – of – art of cast iron science and processing and exchange ideas and
experience related to cast iron industry.
