The 11th MPMD Global Innovations Symposium: Global Innovations in Manufacturing of Aerospace Materials

摘要

Since it was introduced a decade ago as a new concept in programming for the TMS Annual Meeting, the Materials Processing & Manufacturing Division (MPMD) Global Innovations Symposium has striven to exchange knowledge and ideas across disciplines, providing a more comprehensive view of trends and advancements in materials science. The 2010 symposium, co-sponsored by both the MPMD's Shaping and Forming Committee and the Structural Materials Division (SMD)'s High Temperature Alloys Committee, exemplifies the cross-disciplinary nature of the forum. Taking advantage of this year's annual meeting location in Seattle, Washington, the symposium was focused on aerospace materials and explored a wide range of novel processing advances, from traditional casting and forging processes to additive methods, friction stir welding, and electromagnetic forming. Throughout this symposium, the pursuit of new technology to enable faster, safer, and more cost-efficient flight was explored and celebrated.
